The Myth Of Nabucco: Greed, Delusion and $11.4 Billion
Construction of the 56-inch, 2,050-mile pipeline, first proposed in 2002, is tentatively slated to begin next year and scheduled for completion by 2014.

Money Speaks - Bankers Jargon! Doesn't anyone speak English?
In simple terms, debt to equity explains the financial health of the company. For example; suppose your company has a debt to equity ratio of 4 to 1.
