A Question of Balance

That's leverage. I have that too, it is why I am balance sheet poor yet income rich. NWA's magnitudes are just greater than mine; and going to that, I don't think that they can affourd more expensive scotch or better hookers than either you or I, but rather, they can affourd greater quantities of both than either of us. And write the cost off.
