Let’s see who has mugged the table and can recall this… Go! Q1. Favourable tax rates on dividends - What’s the maturity of debt used here? Q2. More liquid stock and bond market - What’s the proportion of debt here? Q3. Greater reliance on banking system - What’s the maturity of debt used here?

1:longer 2:higher 3:shorter ?

Q1. No clue… Q2. I don’t know about proportion but I know debt will be longer Q3. Higher debt, I don’t know the maturity or if it was talked about in Schweser

Agree with tvvPM on all accounts, although somewhat unsure of #2.
