once they take over TWX the company will only be 16 billion dollars in debt Doug, I was wondering if your credit card is maxed out and you were feeling cashflow problems. Has it ever occurred to you that if you have 16 billion in debt at say 8%, and the money you borrowed was put to work at IRR of 12% that this would be a good use of debt? You sound like any debt is bad. Have you ever bought a home? A company? I have, and it is the nature of debt and its uses that concern you, not the amount. Consider the US Debt. And yet, T-Bills are considered a damn-near risk free investment. Harry
