I have tried several systems and I find InvestmentEasy.com to be the powerful and easy to use financial website. Your portfolio tool really simplifies my management of my IRA portfolio. I can't believe how much time I was spending trying to keep my investments balanced and  managed before using your system. Now, I only spend a few minutes a week to monitor my portfolio. Thank for your excellent service.

Current Ratio
A liquidity ratio that measures a company's ability to pay short-term obligations; calculated by dividing current assets by current liabilities. This also helps to give an idea as to the efficiency of the company's operating cycle

An indicator of a company's financial strength. It is calculated as: (Current Asset - Inventories ) / Current Liabilities.

Cash Ratio
Total dollar value of cash and marketable securities divided by current liabilities.

The amount of sales generated for every dollar's worth of assets. It is calculated by dividing sales in dollars by assets in dollars.  

Receivable Turnover
The total credit sales divided by accounts receivable, also called accounts receivable turnover.

Inventory Turnover
The ratio of a company's annual sales to its inventory; or equivalently, the fraction of a year that an average item remains in inventory. Low turnover is a sign of inefficiency, since inventory usually has a rate of return of zero.

Operating Profit Margin
Operating profit for a certain period divided by revenues for that period. Operating profit margin indicates how effective a company is at controlling the costs and expenses associated with their normal business operations.

Gross Margin
Gross income divided by net sales, expressed as a percentage. Gross margins reveal how much a company earns taking into consideration the costs that it incurs for producing its products and/or services. In other words, gross margin is equal to gross income divided by net sales, and is expressed as a percentage. Gross margin is a good indication of how profitable a company is at the most fundamental level. Companies with higher gross margins will have more money left over to spend on other business operations, such as research and development or marketing.

It is used as a general indication of the company's efficiency; in other words, how much profit it is able to generate given the resources provided by its stockholders. Investors usually look for companies with returns on equity that are high and growing.

Debt to Equity Ratio
A measure of a company's financial leverage. Debt/equity ratio is equal to long-term debt divided by common shareholders' equity. Typically the data from the prior fiscal year is used in the calculation. Investing in a company with a higher debt/equity ratio may be riskier, especially in times of rising interest rates, due to the additional interest that has to be paid out for the debt.

Revenue Growth
(Current Fiscal Year Revenue -  Last FY revenue ) / Last FY revenue * 100.0
