@ Garcian Smith and FishyJoe )

as a non-stockholder I prefer high revenues with small (but positive) profits, because that means many people have work and the money doesn't just run into the arms of already rich stockholders, who get even richer

and BTW in my humble opinion a company is "successful" if it manages to employ as many people as possible with their revenue (and ofcourse still are profitable)

 

I disagree with this strongly, not just on a factual basis but on a moral basis as well.

On a factual basis, not only rich people own stocks. Sometimes a significant portion of employees income is derived from stock options.

On a moral basis, a publicly traded company has a responsibility to maximize profits for it's shareholders, not employ as many people as possible. Why would anyone invest money if they didn't believe the company wasn't working first and foremost for the shareholders? These are businesses, not charities.

What you're describing is a non-profit company, not a publicly traded business.
