Difference between Equity and Debt

from Real Money Talks

If you are an investor, especially if you’re a first-time investor, you probably have looked into your options. One of the choices you may have considered is being a shareholder of a company. Owning some shares of a company is also known as equity. Before jumping into any decision, it is best to know the pros and cons of your choices. Don't just go with the flow because most people want equity. Is equity the best possible course of action for you?   In today’s episode, I talk about the difference between equity and debt. I also discuss why I love being the “bank.” I also discuss why being in the lender position puts you in a more advantageous position than owning a share of the company.
