This argument always blows my mind. Who cares about revenue? Profit is what counts. If you make 10 trillion, but have to spend 10 trillion and 1, you're failing.

Web-based companies have to make a profit too. Why do people forget this?

Saying "who cares about revenue?" is just as faulty as stating "who cares about profit?"(which I never stated).
Not following you here. Care to elaborate?

I'd invest my money in a company who makes 200,000 in revenue with 100,000 in profits much faster than one who makes 200,000,000,000,000 in revenue with 0 in profits.

To me, this seems so basic, and I'm certainly not very well versed in business. Am I missing something?
