Great progress but quit cutting yourself girl . Cuts like that don ' t heal very well . <| sep |> The turning of the guard . Laat year this same question was my first ever post <| sep |> I remember back in business school we were taught that there is no optimal debt ratio , but I can ' t remember why . From my debtor perspective , as long as debt in a company isn ' t too highly leveraged typically 4 , 5 x and above , and as long as their cash flow can decently serve debt , then that is ideal . I doubt there ' s one right answer though . <| sep |> Happy Thanksgiving to you ! <| sep |> They need to overcome recent history where they have seemed excellent for short periods , then fell apart . Five games against mediocre teams isn ' t enough . They probably will not get much respect unless they beat someone in the playoffs , or start to dominate the lesser competition .
