RE:Alvarez who can hear meBloomfield,
You are wrong if you think that a winner in the stock market is a company that makes a profit. The market is littered with winners who haven't made a profit in years. There are also companies that have been reporting adjusted earnings for years and their stock keeps soaring. If you were a forensic accountant (which you clearly are not) you would be pulling your hairs.
It's a bit more complicated than what you think.
