RED
(redirected from seeing red)

    Also found in: Dictionary/thesaurus, Medical, Idioms, Encyclopedia, Wikipedia, Hutchinson 0.01 sec.
red
Of or relating to a firm or the operations of a firm that are deemed unprofitable. The term derives from the color of ink used to show losses on financial statements. Compare black.
Refunding Escrow Deposits
A forward contract in which the holder is obligated to purchase a certain bond (usually a municipal bond) with a given yield at some point in the future. Until that purchase is made, the money used to purchase the RED is held in an escrow account and used to buy Treasury securities. This allows the holder of an RED to work around rules against pre-refunding of certain municipal bonds; REDs therefore have a tax advantage.
