Earning The Points

LeBron ain’t the only one earning the points.

“Earning the points” is an investor colloquialism referring to when an investor has made gains on a trade. For instance, if a trader buys low and sells high (or shorts high and buys back low) they’re gaining money, i.e. “earning the points.” Points = fees.

What does that mean if you’re buying high and selling low? Yep...you’re “losing the points.” Don’t do that.
