I am with the script you summed up, and only haggle over how bad it will all get. I am with the camp that expects "very bad" to "horrible".

There are simply too many things can go wrong, and all possibilities enhanced by debt, which means enough things can go doubly wrong.

I relish the coming excitement and may I not regret my words.

Chugs, J

One caveat is that corporate insiders see no good investing option, which lead to bad down the road, and simply bad down the road. So they decide to cash in their options, while they could not get through dividen distributions. They simply put money in their pockets through selling of their options by boosting share prices by buy back shares, sucking some retail investors in along the way.

If they have extra cash stacked and think about retail investors, they should simply give out dividen.
