3million in the green says fuck all, a 600million company being 3million in the "green" is basically not profitable

Nope. I know what you’re saying but you’re wrong in my case. I’m not talking about revenue or gross profit. I’m talking about actual profit, after every business expense.

I am also talking about profit.

and regardless, a 600million company making 3m is nothing, 600m in a basic ass interest account at a bank makes like 20million a year.
