College professor never taught this. Thanks.

appreciate the info! (is it just me or is the audio out of sync w/ lip movement?)

[skypickle]

Don't know if the Finchat numbers you're showing are current, but CMCSA 's quick and current ratios as of today are 0.66, according to Finviz, which isn't great, but a lot better than the asset/debt ratios on the chart shown in the video.
