Danish term
smertegrænse
Danish to English
Bus/Financial
Business/Commerce (general)
I know this means "pain threshold" but this is a business document listing negotiation conditions. Sentence:
Jeres smærtegrænse er 2 million kroner.
Is there a smart sounding English equivalent?
Jeres smærtegrænse er 2 million kroner.
Is there a smart sounding English equivalent?

You may also apply the term "deal breaker", as in: "anything over 2 million is a deal breaker" - you will however be taking some creative license.

the average investor\'s pain threshold is a lot lower than that. The research shows that It doesn\'t matter if the bear market lasts less than 3 months (like the 1990 bear) or less than 3 days (like the 1987 bear). People will still sell out, usually at the very bottom, and almost always at a loss.
