Good-Till-Canceled Orders: When They Expire

Good till canceled does not always mean forever #Shorts

A good till canceled order can still expire under your broker rules. Imagine an unfilled buy limit left open after your original reason for buying has changed. Persistence is an instruction about duration, not proof that the trade still makes sense. Unlike a day order, a supported good till canceled order can remain across trading days. But brok...

Immediate or Cancel Orders: Why Partial Fills Happen

Revenue Growth Can Hide Falling Unit Sales

Revenue growth can hide fewer units sold #Shorts

Revenue growth does not always mean more units sold. Imagine a seller offers one product. Last year it sold one hundred units at ten dollars each, for one thousand dollars of revenue.

Futures Margin vs. Exposure: Understand the Real Risk

Debt Timing Risk: Why Repayment Schedules Matter

The same total debt can have different timing risk #Shorts

Effective Tax Rate: Use Profit, Not Revenue

An effective tax rate needs the right profit denominator #Shorts

Revenue is the wrong denominator for this income tax ratio. In our hypothetical example, revenue is one hundred million dollars. Profit before tax is ten million dollars, and income tax expense is two million dollars. Tax expense divided by profit before tax gives twenty percent. Dividing that same tax expense by revenue gives two percent. Those...
