Actually it should be obvious that companies who are not profitable eat up the capital given to them by those naive
or ignorant who supply the money.


Many biotech companies are not yet profitable and eat up capital. Do you consider, these "new era" companies who consume other peoples money?

How would you value a company operating on borrowed dollars with a substantial pipeline? I am not being facetious, I would like to know. Even though they burn money, they have obviously created something, or they would not have a pipeline. They don't just destroy money; there is an expected "success rate" with a rubbery timeline associated with it.
