What Happened? ? ? !! • We applied a principle called leverage – analogy is to the use of a lever that magnifies your strength • We use someone else's money at a lower rate of interest than the rate of return in the project and pocket the difference for ourselves
Use of Leverage • Most companies will try to sweeten investor returns by use of leverage • Some People buy stock on “Margin” – if the stock price is growing faster than the interest rate it increases your return – What makes more money than 400 shares doubling their price – 4000 shares of stock doubling their price • May have heard of leveraged buy outs where company operators buy the company using debt
How Can You Do That? • If the project is so good why doesn't the bank just buy it? – The expertise factor - banks know how to lend money - not necessarily run projects – Banks are more risk adverse - they don’t take as many chances and have a lower risk premium on investment • It’s the same project - how can the bank have less risk?

The Dark Side of Leverage • Many people do not understand that if the return in a project drops below the interest rate that they will get levered down – They take the risk – The Bank takes the money • Leverage magnifies often improves project rate of return • But it can also increase down-side risk
