Monty,
Or would it be better to call you Money Monty?
Revenues, profits, cash generated, customers, hits are all just units of measurement so you can determine growth and compare to similar companies. I like to see growth in retained earnings times return on equity with growth in assets and employees. If it was only that easy, the growth in units of measurement of existing operations do not necessarily foretell future potential. The true potential and value is usually unquantifiable.
It sounds like you want growth in taxable cash dividends or short term profits. Most companies want or have to reinvest them for you to maintain or expand their operations. That is the reason return on equity is important.
Sorry, I'm sure you know all this. Just BSing
