Here are some glossary defintions I found regarding some of the topics of conversation, in case anyone is interested.

Shareholders Of Record
Shareholders whose names actually appear on the records of the corporation from which the shares are issued. See also Street Name.

Street Name
Ownership of shares which are held for the benefit of the shareholder in a brokerage account, and are not reflected in the shareholder's name on the records of the corporation. See also Shareholders of Record.

Short Selling
While an investor's mindset is usually to buy a stock first and then sell it later, short selling actually is just the opposite; sell now and then buy it back later. The short seller borrows the shares from a securities firm with the anticipation that they will decline in value. If the investor is correct, the shares can be bought back at a lower price and the investor realizes a gain. However, if the shares are bought back at a higher price, a loss will be realized.

Short Squeeze
A short squeeze results when the price of the stock rises and investors who short-sold the stock rush to buy it to cover their short position. As the price of the stock increases, more short sellers feel driven to cover their positions.

Dividends
Cash dividends declared on Common Stock are paid by corporations, usually quarterly, to shareowners of record on the declared record date. Shares directly registered on the books of the corporation are paid directly to shareholders while shares held through a broker are paid to the broker by the corporation.
