Breakeven Time
The length of time for the discounted value of future cash flow from an investment to equal the cost of making the investment. That is, if one spends $1,000 buying a stock, the breakeven time is the time it takes for the investor to make at least $1,000 from that stock. A longer breakeven time equates to higher risk for the investment.
