I just read an interesting article on investment options. Investors have many vehicles to choose from, but are limited to two main options when dealing with corporate financing. Those options are stocks (equity) and bonds (debt).
For companies, the choice is generally made on which option will create more shareholder value in the long run. For investors, it is important to decide which investment is going to be more profitable.
