    Are bond sales coming into fashion? I hadn’t heard about them until a few weeks ago, and since then I’ve heard about them twice by FAANGS

    Anyone else surprised that with record valuations these companies aren't selling equity instead?

      I think it could be because investors are worried their record valuations won't continue to grow - and are more interested in a guaranteed more conservative investment.
