Leverage (finance) – Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In finance, leverage (or gearing) is borrowing money to supplement existing funds for investment in such a way that the potential positive or negative outcome is magnified and/or enhanced.[1] It generally refers to using borrowed funds, or debt, so as to attempt to increase the returns to equity. Deleveraging is the action of reducing borrowings.[1]
I love the TV show Leverage. Kinda cool to read this. This and shorting stock is how the Leverage firm makes (quasi-legal) money.
Hi, Tatiana –
Don’t know anything ’bout leveraging, but I saw you recently added a few of my books from the Library Thing. If you can find a copy of COUNTESS IN BUCKSKIN, you might relate to the heroine. She’s named Tatiana, too.
All my best!!!!
