Remember that Citigroup's CEO was paid quite handsomely, despite performance...something DR has NOT.
I believe DR is still quite 'hungry', not to mention probably has better ethics than a majority of these companies whose CEOs are raking in excess of $500,000,000 while still failing to perform.
C'mon, face it: Once a man has made a half billion dollars, what incentive is there left...especially, to perfom for his shareholders?
With no revenues, good economy or bad, CTGI could not have been expected to get great financing terms. That they have been able to pull this off (especially in this current economy) is a sign of awesome business accumen!
Does the financing suggest CTGI is now 'suffering' and now needs cash?
Certainly not anymore than ever before. I would only expect DR to take out additional financing just before he expects to ramp up production considerably. Chances are, the financing is connected to LTC sales, ie; each order for xx number of gensets justifies borrowing more from this credit line.
