AEP debt and earnings     23-Jun-09 09:38 am    
I am worried about AEP's earnings. They are borrowing more than their net income every year and the debt is up to 18.8 billion on Yahoo. The stock is worth 13.7 billion and they are also issuing stock every quarter which is diluting the stockholder. Why do they need to keep borrowing? They have been going up but is this a good time to get out? Isn't cap and trade going to hurt them too because they are mostly coal fired?
