"Couldn't the companies, if they needed to grow, which I assume means their prospects are good, either borrow the money for expansion or sell more stock?" What does it mean to say prospects are good other than it looks likely they will profit? Why else would people risk lending or buying stocks? |

Profit like I said, rivers. Of course there are other reasons related to, we might say, generating other types of wealth, religions, charities, and other non-profit efforts. And then there's government. |

What I intended to say was that if the company needed to grow, one would think their prospects were good enough to attract lenders or shareholders. Therefore, those would be options to attract capital. |

Whether you agree or not is not important. Your opinion is meaningless. |
