Some say that volatility, rather than debt, is the best way to think about risk as an investor, but Warren Buffett famously said, "Volatility is not synonymous with risk." It's normal to think of a company’s balance sheet when you check how risky it is, because debt is often involved when the business collapses. Note that Wise Talent Information Technology Co., Ltd HKG: 6100 has debts on its balance sheet. But should shareholders be concerned about their debt use?
When is religion a problem?
In general, debt becomes a real problem only when the company cannot pay it off easily, either by raising capital or through its cash flow.

However, the most common (but still very expensive) situation is where the company has to dilute shareholders at a cheap share price just to control the debt. Having said that, the most common situation is when a company manages its debt reasonably well - and for its own benefit. When we consider using a debt company, we first look at cash and debt together.
