RE:RE:The governmentsDoesn't seem like BCE has ever had trouble financing their Debt or Operating Loans.
Just look at their latest Notes offering at around 5.2% and 5.6%. Doubt that will cut into their bottom line all that much.
You're forgetting what you hold. BCE, they raise money as easy as Canada's largest bank.

A company hooked on debt will have greater obstacles borrowing money when it's capital value is diminished. To cover increased risk, lenders will demand higher rates, which in turn will reduce company profits and compromise their ability to pay a dividend. Rather than borrow money at higher rates, a company may do what it should have done all along . . . finance operations with company generated income. What happens to the dividend then?
