Price/sales ratio

Price/sales ratio
Price-to-sales ratio, P/S ratio, or PSR, is a valuation metric for stocks. It is calculated by dividing the company's market cap by the company's revenue in the most recent fiscal year (or the most recent four fiscal quarters); or, equivalently, divide the per-share stock price by the per-share revenue.
The metric can be used to determine the value of a stock relative to its past performance. It may also be used to determine relative valuation of a sector or the market as a whole.
PSRs vary greatly from sector to sector, so they are most useful in comparing similar stocks within a sector or sub-sector. Also, since sales are less easy to manipulate as compared to earnings, price-sales ratios are more indicative of performance as compared to price-earnings ratios.

ECB vs FCCB

This is in response to the queries I received on whether ECB or FCCB is more convenient/liberal/less regulated. For guidelines on each of them, please refer to the links attached in the respective articles. FCCB http://www.icai.org/icairoot/publications/complimentary/cajournal_nov05/703-708.pdf . ECB http://www.icai.org/icairoot/publications/complimentary/cajournal_may04/p1216-19.pdf As regards which is more convenient, it always depends on the company raising funds.

Reverse Mortgage in India

Imagine a situation where you grow old and have managed to buy a house. However, you could not save enough for your retirement. You certainly need money to manage your day to day finances since you are retired and have no fixed source of income or your income is not enough to meet your finances. Reverse Mortgage is the answer for you. Reverse Mortgage is a type of mortgage available to senior citizens in which a home-owner can borrow money against the value of his/her home. No repayment of the mortgage (principal or interest) is required until the borrower dies or the home is sold. After accounting for the initial mortgage amount, the rate at which interest accrues, the length of the loan and rate of home price appreciation, the transaction is structured so that the loan amount will not exceed the value of the home over the life of the loan.
