RESERVE REQUIREMENTS: Rules by the Federal Reserve System governing the amount of bank reserves that banks must keep to back up their deposits. Legal reserve requirements came about because banks that practice fractional-reserve banking are sometimes inclined to make too many interest-paying loans and neglect to keep enough reserves on hand to pay their depositors. In principle, the Fed can alter reserve requirements to control the money supply. In practice, however, the Fed prefers to use open market operations or the discount rate.

SWOT: A strategic approach to analyzing the internal attributes of an organization. SWOT stands for Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities, and Threats. This is usually done after environmental scanning is performed. Strengths focuses on those components of the business that make it unique and strong. Weaknesses can be those parts that put the company at risk, either now or in the future. Opportunities are possible changes in laws, technology or other variables that create windows for future growth. Threats can encompass new competitors, new regulations, or other dangerous variables that must be addressed.
