Leasing equipment is what you do when you need the option to be able to
cancel it should trading conditions turn against you and you no longer
need the equipment (which is not the case with WMF - we *know* that our
usage will continue to increase not decrease) -or- you want to be able to
mark down the lease / interest payments against your tax liability, again
which does not apply to WMF.
Yes and no. Leasing companies like to bind their clients for the life
of the contract whether or not you need the equipment. Having an option
to cancel on short notice (30 days or less) will likely imply higher
monthly payments. ... but then I don't like leasing in either event.
As Robert got to saying first, please be constructive
and don't troll.
Anthony has raised some points that absolutely need to be discussed, but
which unfortunately involve themes that are familiar to only a very few
people. I regret the accusatory tone which sometimes creeps into his
comments, but I believe that his analyses are important even if
personally I often disagree with them.
