All I know is that the lil guy at the corner store is still in business after about 23 years, but Enron (a 100 billion plus company) isnt. At the end of the day.

Profit = good

Loss = bad

Great sales = good

Terrible sales = bad

Growth in sales = good

Lack of growth in sales = bad

What investors really look at is revenue and profit growth.

Think of the owners of those though. The guy at the corner store is still working long hours every week and will continue to do so for a long time, while the former Enron owner is probably sat on a huge pile of cash.

Bad example.
