Company Debentures
A debenture is a debt instrument that a company uses to take out a loan in exchange for a fixed interest rate. Debentures can either be used to refer to bonds or documents created in exchange for a medium to long-term loan.
EBITDA MARGIN
EBITDA margin is the ratio of Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation, and Amortization (EBITDA) by revenue, represented as a percentage. It is used to understand whether a company is profitable and as a valuation technique.
The formula to calculate EBITDA margin is: EBITDA Margin = (EBITDA/Revenue)*100
Just like EBITDA, the EBITDA margin also excludes non-cash expenses. That’s why a positive EBITDA margin doesn’t necessarily mean that a company is profitable.

Short Selling
Short selling is a popular intraday selling strategy. Through this strategy, traders can sell shares that they currently don’t own. They expect the prices to fall, so they borrow the shares and sell them at the current price. The goal is to buy the stock back later at a lower price. However, traders can incur significant losses if the prices rise instead. That’s why risk management is crucial in short selling.
Treasury Bills (T-Bills)
Treasury Bills (T-Bills) are short-term debt instruments issued by the government with maturities typically ranging from a few days up to one year. They are considered low-risk investments and are sold at a discount to face value. The return is earned through the difference between purchase price and maturity value.
