News flash. EVERY SUCCESSFUL CORPORATION IN THE WORLD RUNS A DEBT, INDEED, A DEFICIT TOO.

Not always, Trish. The key indicator is known as the 'debt/equity ratio' -in fact it doesnt mean that major corporations are always in debt, rather, it needs to be understood in its historical context. In 'normal' business environments, it can be acceptable for the d/e to go from a healthy 20/80 to a 40/60; if there is a major long term investment where the net present value is over, say 25% then even a 60/40 d/e can be acceptable to the board: BUT that is with a guaranteed return on the investment. In these times, when so much is uncertain, I would be a nervous shareholder if my firm was risking more than 15% of the equity...

Thanks for the quantifications. Sometimes the d=0 and sometimes e=infinity
In good times 0.25 < d/e < 0.66 is quite acceptable.
Under some circumstances even d/e < 1.5 is acceptable.
These days you personally prefer d/e < 0.15.

I wonder if Michelle's ever popped off her Lee Press-On Nails and went after Barry with a shoe. Michelle's prints are also the only ones on the Mossberg that leans against the wall in the bedroom. Barry's are on the Judy Garland memorabilia.
