The first is: ‘Liquidity only matters when it’s the only thing that matters.’ This is a comment from the 2007-08 crisis, when otherwise functioning firms disappeared overnight because funding became impossible to find. Think Bear Stearns or Lehman Bros. The second is: ‘Borrowing is cheap until it isn’t.'”
