RE:Bombardier has debt problem

RE:Bombardier has debt problem I agree with what you wrote here but not on the subject, Bombardier already is doing a nice job of managing the debt, well since Eric Martel and Bart Demosky were hired.  It's a problem because it's always nicer to have a better debt ratio though.

What you're suggesting about the debt was mentionned as a possibility by Eric Martel this morning.  (using some of the next 2 quarters's revenu to lower the debt)

Today is weird but not surprising at all but I haven't gambled with my shares hoping for a sell-drop-buy, kept everything.

Last thing you want to see is inventory build up when you are heavy in debt.  However bbd's plan is working as deliveries were up and they reaffirmed 2023 numbers.  GD, Textron and Dassault deliveries are not as stable and at risk of not hitting target.

When bbd clears these inventories you will see better cash flow and inventory liability diminish.

What bbd is doing is for stability of production line and future growth.  And this is fine by me as a long term investor.

However when these money spent on inventories come back as airplanes are build and sold, i think some of it should go to pay down debt.  100 millions from cash on hand will go long way to prop sp while this turnaround is going on.
