  • A Basic Introduction To Accounts Receivables  By : Ajeet Khurana

    Accounts receivables is one such type of a business transaction. It refers to the way of dealing with amounts of money that are owed to a business by its customer. On the balance...

  • Expectations For Trading Or Investing Returns  By : John Forman
    Clearly, anyone who trades does so with the expectation of making profits. We take risks to gain rewards. The question each trader must answer, however, is what kind of return he or she expects to make? This is a very important consideration, as it speaks directly to what kind of trading will take place, what market or markets are best suited to the purpose, and the kinds of risks required.

    Let s start with a very simple example. Suppose a trader would like to make 10% per...
  • Managing Option Directional Trades  By : John Forman

  • Realized Vs Unrealized Returns  By : John Forman
    Traders deal with two different kinds of returns when they speak of profits and losses made in the markets.

  • ABCs Of A Good Accountant  By : John Maxim
    Have a good laugh at this joke concerning accountants:

    A businessman was interviewing applicants for the position of divisional manager. He devised a simple test to select the most suitable person for the job. He asked each applicant the question, "How much is two and two?"

    The first interviewee was a journalist. His answer was "twenty-two"

    The second applicant was an engineer. He pulled out a calculator and showed the answer to be between 3.999 and 4.001.

  • On Banks  By : Geoff Gannon
    Superficially, banking appears to be a commodity business. In fact, it appears to be a particularly poor commodity business, because capacity is not constrained by the need to invest in a substantial physical infrastructure.

  • Bad Credit : Understanding The Basics  By : Joseph Kenny
    Many people have heard of bad credit, but some may not know what it means. For a long time, there was no established method for determining the credit activities of consumers.

    Your FICO score h...
