An NFT (non-fungible token) is a code that identifies you as the owner of a one-of-a-kind digital asset. Fungible vs. non-fungible An NFT is a type of digital collectible. They were initially released in 2015, but their popularity has lately skyrocketed. To comprehend NFTs, it's necessary to first grasp the distinction between fungible and non-fungible objects: Fungible: It's simple to count and exchange. You can, for example, exchange two $5 bills for one $10 bill and get the same amount of money. Non-fungible: It's one-of-a-kind and can't be replaced. The Mona Lisa may be downloaded and framed by anybody, yet there is only one original painting. The one-of-a-kind quality of an NFT (and the scarcity that it entails) is a big part of why they're so popular (and expensive). Why popular NFTs are popular with buyers in part because they are an investment opportunity. If the price of an item rises in the future, the buyer can sell it and profit. Of course, NFTs are onl

The ease with which you may sell an investment or asset at a reasonable price is referred to as liquidity. Liquid assets are those that can be exchanged for cash: - Quickly and easily - With little or no transaction fees - At their current market prices (i.e., without having to entice a buyer with a big discount) Something is more liquid in general if: - Many individuals would be interested in purchasing it; - It's simple to determine its value; - It's simple to transfer ownership from one person to another; - The object or investment is more standardized (i.e., less unique) A share of Apple stock, for example, is liquid because it's simple to buy and sell, and many people would want to possess it at the proper price. You can figure out how much it's worth by looking at the stock market's current pricing. Furthermore, the corporation has billions of outstanding shares, therefore it isn't unique. A piece of custom-designed luxury real estate, on the other hand, i

  What is a derivative? A financial instrument based on another asset is known as a derivative. Stock options and commodities futures are two of the most common examples of derivatives, and you've definitely heard of them but aren't sure how they operate. Derivatives allow consumers the option — but not the duty — to acquire or sell an underlying asset at a later date. The underlying asset and the period until the contract expires determine the derivative's value. How Financial Derivatives Work Financial derivatives are financial products whose value is determined by one or more underlying financial assets, such as stocks, bonds, commodities, currencies, or interest rates. Investors engage in contracts with stated terms, such as the period of the contract and the consequent values and definitions of the underlying assets, to purchase and sell derivatives. Futures, options, swaps, and forwards are examples of financial derivatives. Futures and options are often traded on the

On a company's financial calendar, a quarter is a three-month period that serves as the foundation for quarterly financial reports and dividend payments. The majority of financial reporting and dividend payments occur quarterly. Not all companies' fiscal quarters match the calendar quarters, and it's customary for businesses to complete their fourth quarter after their busiest season.  The fiscal quarter and the fiscal year are the two primary accounting periods for businesses. Most businesses' fiscal years span from January 1 to December 31 (though it does not have to). The following are the traditional calendar quarters that make up the year: - January, February, and March (Q1) - April, May, and June (Q2) - July, August, and September (Q3) - October, November, and December (Q4) Companies, investors, and analysts compare and assess trends using data from multiple quarters. A company's quarterly report, for example, is frequently compared to the same quarter of t

Have you ever traded penny stocks with a small account only to be frustrated when it came time to make another trade? Many people who invest in small-cap stocks are concerned by the Pattern Day Trade regulation. To purchase and sell penny stocks or higher-priced stocks within a single day and more than three times during a rolling 5-day period, traders must have at least $25,000 in their trading account. In many circumstances (depending on your broker), you may avoid this by using a cash account.You can make as many day trades (buying and selling in the same trading session) as you like.However, you can only use the amount of settled funds in your account. You must be mindful of settlement time-frames if you trade penny stocks.Your money will usually be settled two business days following the trade date (T+2).That implies you'll have to wait a few days after selling out of your transaction before you may trade with those funds again. The "benefit" is that you are "fo

Liquidity Ratio   This ratio indicates how rapidly a corporation can turn its present assets into cash in order to pay down its liabilities on time. Liquidity and short-term solvency are frequently used simultaneously. Current Ratio The current ratio compares a company's capacity to pay down current obligations (those due within one year) with its total current assets, which include cash, accounts receivable, and inventory. The better the company's liquidity condition, the higher the ratio: Current Ratio = Current Liabilities / Current Assets ​ Quick Ratio The quick ratio, which removes inventory from current assets, assesses a company's ability to satisfy short-term obligations with its most liquid assets. Quick ratio= (C+MS+AR) / CL C - cash & cash equivalents MS - marketable securities AR - accounts receivable CL - current liabilities ​ ​Another way is: Quick ratio = (Current assets - Inventory - Prepaid expenses) / Current liabilities Efficiency ratio The efficiency
