Yes paul100 all gulf is giving MAD is money. And yes MAD will have to pay for this out of future profits.

And no, there is no Santa Clause.

If you can explain to me how any company raises either equity or borrows funds and then does not pay it back out of future profit then let me know about it.

The skill is about how well the company matches the eventual profit stream to the debt or equity obligation and the associated risks.

The suggestion is that the gulf deal has done this reasonably well. I know you don't think so but you seem to think capital is available for free.
