And what's the downside?

Back in the 1990s, a lot of investors & "investment
professionals" (ie shills) thought we had entered a new
economy where profits didn't matter, and dividends were
irrelevant. In the short run, they were right, but in the
long run they were dead.

Is this a new idea? Long time ago, a wise man said "In the
long run, we're all dead."

Easy ever-expanding credit with no obligation is the new
"big picture" for fiscal management. In the long run, who's
gonna care?

Frankly, I'm too much of an old fogey to act on these
principles, but after thinking it over, I'm not going to say
they're wrong. FWIW I agree with you about being on a major
corporation's vendor list. That's why I am a subcontractor.
Those on the vendors list are simply known "easy marks."
