Expensing will usually work best from a tax standpoint. Slog thru the numbers or hire a tax expert to be sure...

re "borrowing to invest" - there is always a risk to that, eh. But it can sometimes work out well -- usually when the investments (say, stocks) are depressed in cost, growth is likely, and the cost of borrowing is low -- e.g the Fed. cuts interest rates to the bone, the S&P is low, and it is likely the economy is showing signs of resurgance....

As the cycle matures, interest rates go up, and stocks seem highly (over) valued, it is time to get out of that. A good indicator is that people keep talking about stocks at parties, and a pic of a bull is on the cover of Time or Newsweek...
