Debt can assist Maple Leaf until it has trouble settling it off, either with new capital or with free cash flow. So, Maple Leaf's shareholders could walk away with nothing if the company can't fulfill its legal obligations to repay debt. However, a more frequent occurrence is when companies like Maple Leaf Foods sell additional shares at bargain prices, diluting existing shareholders. Debt, in this case, can be an excellent and much better tool for Maple to invest in growth at high rates of return. When we think about Maple Leaf's use of debt, we should always consider it together with cash and equity.

A correlation greater than 0.8 is generally described as strong, whereas a correlation less than 0.5 is generally considered weak.
