English term
to push into the black
English to Romanian
Bus/Financial

Cred ca este o expresie de argou financiar
Observ că expresia se folosește mai ales la bursă. Dar nu înțeleg dacă înseamnă zero, dacă crește (Dow, de exemplu) sau scade, ma rog nu înțeleg nimic și vă rog să mă ajutați.

So the expression says that one has just managed to push their financial situation into credit (rather than before, when they were maybe in debt or "in the red)).
