Week 8 Reading Reflection

1) What was the biggest surprise for you in the reading? In other words, what did you read that stood out the most as different from your expectations? 
Until now, I had never actually thought there were any advantages towards debt financing, being a college student all I hear about is debt so I just assumed there could be no good from it and that it was only a temporary fix to a problem. Now I know there are good uses towards it.
2) Identify at least one part of the reading that was confusing to you.
This part wasn't explicitly stated in the reading, but I just want to understand how business owners determined whether or not to use debt financing or equity financing. 
3) If you were able to ask two questions to the author, what would you ask? Why?
-How does one determine whether or not a venture capitalist is asking for too much power by way of the money they are able to contribute? I simply want the author's opinion on the matter.
-What helps a corporation finally decide to go public? In what situations is going public the correct move? I don't exactly understand what is "better". For example, why hasn't SpaceX gone public? Why isn't Publix public? 

4) Was there anything you think the author was wrong about? Where do you disagree with what she or he said? How?
Being that I rather inexperienced on the topic, I don't particular have anything to say against the author. He obviously knows what he is talking about, and to me he seems credible.
