3. Motivation Of The Day 💭
"Success is not final, failure is not fatal: It is the courage to continue that counts."
— Winston Churchill
4. Term Of The Day 📚
Price To Earnings (P/E) Ratio
Definition: The P/E ratio measures a company's current share price relative to its per-share earnings. It's a key indicator used to assess whether a stock is overvalued or undervalued.
📊 Why it matters: Investors use the P/E ratio to compare the valuation of companies within the same industry. A high P/E might indicate that a stock's price is high relative to earnings and possibly overvalued, while a low P/E might suggest the opposite.
💡 Example: If Company A's stock is trading at $100 per share and its earnings per share (EPS) is $5, the P/E ratio is 20. This means investors are willing to pay $20 for every $1 of earnings.
5. Song Of The Day 🎧
Track: “Shadows in the Night” – Midnight Mirage
🎶 Why it hits: Released earlier this year, "Shadows in the Night" by Midnight Mirage blends ethereal vocals with a haunting melody, capturing the essence of modern synth-pop. Its atmospheric soundscape makes it a perfect backdrop for introspective moments or late-night drives.
