Only bad firms will be willing to sell securities, because the price will be above the value of the securities
This problem explains fact 2 (Issuing marketable debt and equity securities is not
the primary way in which businesses finance their operations) and partially explains fact 1 (Stocks are not the most important sources of external financing for businesses) -
