Has anybody disected the word transaction yet? (I suppose so) I have not completely read all of the posts from the last two days. Maybe the settlement hasn't yet become a "financial transaction".
Financial transaction
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A financial transaction involves a change in the status of the finances of two or more businesses or individuals.
[edit] Purchase
The most common type of financial transaction. An item or good is exchanged for money. This transaction results in a decrease in the finances of the purchaser and an increase in the benefits of the seller.
