January 9, 2009, Newsletter Issue #88: What is a Financial Leverage Formula?

Tip of the Week


There are several financial leverage formulas, but the most popular is known as the Debt to Equity formula. It is calculated by adding a company's short term and long term debt, and dividing it by its total shareholders equity.

An acceptable ratio is 2 to 1, and anything higher shows the company is at risk.

Forex trading, on the other hand, can allow leverage ratios of up to 400 to 1 - which illustrates the risk inherent in these markets.
