Capital Structure and Opportunities

The speaker talks through the flawed capital structure of many companies which ultimately led to the banking crisis on Wall Street.

This led to gigantic amounts of leverage and the smallest change in the spread between the cost of debt and ROE would significantly impact the companies bottom line.
