Cash Reserve Ratio

Definition of Cash Reserve Ratio

Cash Reserve Ratio (CRR) is the amount of liquid cash a bank has to deposit with the Reserve Bank of India (RBI), calculated as a percentage of the total deposit of the bank. The latest Cash Reserve Ratio in India is 4.5%.

There are two important uses of CRR:

  • It acts as a reserve or collateral because banks borrow money from the RBI
  • The RBI decides the interest rate for borrowing based on the CRR

These two pointers become extremely important during high inflation as the RBI can hike interest rates with the assurance of having collateral from banks.

Convertible Bonds

A convertible bond is a hybrid security that’s initially designed to be a debt instrument that pays a fixed interest rate in exchange for a loan. Once the loan’s tenure ends, the holder can decide to take one of either action:

  • Don’t convert bond: face value of the bond is transferred to the holder on maturity
  • Buy and Hold

    Buy and hold is a long term investment strategy that is designed to help investors ride out market volatility by buying and holding fundamentally solid businesses that have the potential to grow over decades.

    EBITDA MARGIN

    EBITDA margin is the ratio of Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation, and Amortization (EBITDA) by revenue, represented as a percentage. It is used to understand whether a company is profitable and as a valuation technique.

    The formula to calculate EBITDA margin is: EBITDA Margin = (EBITDA/Revenue)*100

    Just like EBITDA, the EBITDA margin also excludes non-cash expenses. That’s why a positive EBITDA margin doesn’t necessarily mean that a company is profitable.

    Margin Funding

    Margin funding is a feature offered by brokers that allows users to borrow funds from the broker to increase purchasing power for trading or investing in financial markets. Margin funding is effectively a loan and as a result, there’s collateral to be pledged in the form of shares either already owned to about to be bought. Thus, margin funding amplifies profit and loss.

    Acid Test Ratio

    An Acid Test Ratio shows whether a company has enough liquid short-term assets to deal with current liabilities.

    The higher the Acid Test Ratio the better a company’s ability to deal with debt.

    Acid Test Ratio = (Cash + Marketable Securities + Accounts Receivable)/Current liabilities

    Anaume Pattern

    An Anaume Pattern can be seen when a gap is filled after a change in the direction of a security or market’s price.

    Anaume Patterns are gap-filling patterns that can signal the reversal of a bearish trend, which is nothing but a potential onset of a bullish trend, when used in conjunction with other patterns.

    Anaume Patterns are also known as exception exhaustion patterns.
