operating at a loss Explanation: Profits are written with black ink and losses with red. To be in the black means to be making a profit. To be in the red means making a loss. How is you business? Is it in the black yet? After five months of red ink (losses), it will be in the black within three months. Xavvy |

Saldo negativo Explanation: Es una expresion heredada de los tiempos en que los contables utilizaban "tinta roja" [realmente, para diferenciar de la azul que utilizaban comunmente], para indicar los estados financieros que registraban perdidas, o que se hallaban por debajo del margen minimo aceptable. Luck! |
