accounting lesson for beginners

Company A has the following:

Assets: 13 billion
Liabilities: 10 billion (including recourse debt of 1 billion).


Company B has the following:

Assets: 10 billion
Liabilities: 7 billion
Recourse debt: ZERO

Which company would you rather own? A or B?

It really is quite disturbing that some people who appear to have almost zero knowledge of even the basics are investing in the market.
