Sam:

Primarily the latter. IBM actually put out some 100 year bonds among its continuing stream of debt issuance, if memory serves me well (imagine the pricing on those bonds now). Rising debt loads tend to hurt in several ways, but they really peel back the skin when one's business starts to suck wind.

Best, Earlie
