Happily I majored in Mathematics.

Pure mathematics, that is. If it smelled liked an application (and I do mean smelled) I avoided it like the plague.

Hence, I did not have "corporate finance" books in my curriculum. I'm just a poor old dumb North Carolina boy who was taught that a "debt" was something that you eventually paid back. Or else you declared bankruptcy, which is akin to conceding that you failed. ;-)

Well it is!

But when you have lots of collateral...you can take out alot...and you can stagger it so as to have alot out all the time. And when you're a business there are people who calculate the "correct" amount of debt for you to carry.

Methinks you know these things already ;-)
