Pronunciation: eet ray der

Sentence: Jocelyn was an accomplished eat-raider. Not only could she out sell her colleagues on the Internet and the NYSE and TSE, she could plan her futures, so that after she placed a particularly steep bid which left her co-workers focussed on their screens and trying to understand her ploys, she made a commandonut & coffee raid on the staff kitchen. When she picked out the consomme instead of the boullion, she ran back to make a stock exchange and pointed to it with her index finger. Since you had to pay for the food, she was often a broker eat-raider. Yes, Jocelyn was a stealthy eater.

Etymology: Eat (take in solid food) & Raider (someone who takes spoils or plunder or a corporate investor who intends to take over a company by buying a controlling interest in its stock and installing new management)& e-trader ( someone who purchases and maintains an inventory of goods to be sold on the electronic stock market).
