johntan1979 | Is this implying that non-public companies are "high risk" investments, since they are 100% debt-financed? |
Seancfa1 | You can have equity in a privately held firm. |
ldfrench | Take a look at Lehman Brothers and Bear Stearns D/E in 2007-2008 |
houstcarr | non-public companies definitely are not 100% debt financed |

I was very pleased with your notes and question bank. I especially like the mock exams because it helped to pull everything together.
