[QUOTE="KillerB, post: 853462, member: 35753"] Most start-up companies must borrow money to cover operating losses in their first few lean years of existence. Of these, some poorly run companies fold into oblivion, (Pets.com, Netscape, etc.)... while others blossom into extremely lucrative businesses, with strong sustainable profits. (Amazon.com, Netflix, Google, Facebook, Etc)... These companies leveraged themselves in order to take off... Would you consider that "bad debt"? Even if that was "bad debt", in fiscal year 2010, UPS produced $5.9 Billion dollars in operating profit... thus, since they have no operating losses to cover, UPS must not have bad debt. Again, debt is debt no matter how you slice it... its not good or bad. True, with debt instrumentation and various methods of structuring, some debt is better than others. However, only if its mismanaged, will it get a company in financial distress. Otherwise, its a great tool to use and it will get the most out of a company. [/QUOTE]
