4. Term Of The Day 📚
Net Working Capital (NWC)
📖Definition: Current assets minus current liabilities; a snapshot of the cash tied up in day-to-day operations (inventory, receivables, payables)
📊Why it matters: Indicates short-term liquidity and operational efficiency. Low or negative NWC can be efficient for businesses with fast cash cycles; high NWC can signal cash trapped in inventory/AR
💡Example: If a distributor has $80M in current assets and $65M in current liabilities, NWC = $15M. Cutting days in inventory/freeing $5M lowers financing needs and boosts flexibility.
UN-Limited Limit Orders
Why pay gas for limit orders that never execute? With CoW Swap, you can set an unlimited number of limit orders – more than your wallet balance – then cancel them all at no cost to you. Try Limit Orders.
5. Song Of The Day 🎧
🎧Song: “Something in the Orange” by Zach Bryan
Genre: Country
Why it hits: Raw, aching vocals over a sparse arrangement—perfect for deep focus or a reflective late-night drive
