Quick Poll: Leverage

by a searcher from Columbia University

Which would you prefer?
1. Bigger deal with maxed out leverage
2. Smaller deal with more equity, less debt

(I know this will vary widely depending on individual circumstance, deal, risk appetite, etc. I'm just curious to see how other folks are thinking about this in terms of opportunity vs. risk, particularly going into a recession.)

#3 bigger deal more equity. Likely debt is going to be difficult to source, so leverage will be lower. Valuations are lower as a result. All in a better opportunity for the expected rebound out of the cycle
