No dummy all debts are not liabilities. If you want to think so then have at it.How does one purchase a loan without buying a debt? You do realize thats the same thing right?Please explain how people dont purchase debt when you just said they do purchase debt plus the expected interest payment? Are you under the impression that all debt is not an asset?People don't purchase debt. They purchase debt plus the expected interest payment stream adjusted for risk - which means it's an asset, not a liability.
The only exception is when a company acquires the stock (assets plus liabilities) of another company.
I just did. Purchased somebody who purchases a loan is buying an asset. The debt is still held and being paid off by someone else.
*sigh* when one purchases a loan, one doesn't owe any one else a debt payment. One owns an asset for which the debt holder owes principle and interest payment.
When one buys a loan, own owns an ASSET. Debts are LIABILITIES. It's is rather unusual to buy a LIABILITY without any assets to offset the obligation.
Please, learn some financial principles.
Learn how to read a balance sheet, bub.
