Hoodoo (finance) is a bond trader whose luck has soured, plunging him from riches to rags, who is believed to bring others bad luck as well.

Hoodoo is also mentioned in some later versions of the baseball poem "Casey at the Bat" and probably refers to this particular meaning of a jinx, or someone who brings bad luck.
