I can only speak for myself as a Sony fan.  I lurk in these threads.  But I have nothing I can add to the discussion (until now! :P).  I know jack about shares, takeovers, bonds, anything like that.  In fact, the only time I see it is when Kowen posts a thread about it on these forums.  I could post a generic "I'm sure you're right Kowen" or join in on the doomed discussions without really understanding why they're so doomed, but that would seem a bit frivilous.

Well, this article actually explains the hill to climb pretty well without really overcomplicating it, if you're interested.

It gives a few terms like net debt (debt deductions and such) and gross debt (basically, total debt) for Sony, but it's pretty straight forward.
