EBITDA

Sunday, July 26th, 2009

I just had to post one more from Quest. They explain what EBITDA is, an acronym that is thrown around a lot today.

During my Financial Accounting class with prof Gary Cunningham, I asked him why there are so many ways to show ones profit in a yearly report. He looked at me and said that it depends how bad ones year has been. Apple does not need to use it since they have had a terrific year, with earnings going up. Others whose stocks have gone down and has nothing to show, uses to EBITDA since their numbers will look better.

Watch the video.

Quest means business

One of the best economic/financial journalist out there, according to myself, is Richard Quest at  CNN. Thanks to what I have picked up over the years at Uni, I do understand a lot of what people are saying, but some how he makes it sound easier than what it might be.

He’s show Quest means Business can be found online, and his blog is updated every now and then with some market reflections.
