Important Points:
- Debt is borrowed capital to speed-up time (for expanding businesses, make big purchases...etc).
- Volatility does not equal to risk for a long term investor, it presents buying opportunites when the price of an asset become undervalued. (It only become a risk if you are forced to sell at a bad price, which can be the case if there is excessive debt - for a person, a comapny, or a country).
Great Quote:
- Only when the tide goes out do you discover who's been swimming naked.
- Price is what you pay, value is what you get.
