Meathead said "Margins and what is made in terms of dollars are two different things... you need to get this strait before you go long or short in the stock market."
I mis-spoke this one. I meant the number of $$ make and not Margins.
I ment to say "you cannot make as much money on a $1000 product as you can on a $2000 product."

Here is a question for you Meathead. Forget what the company does for a moment.

For a stock what is more important:
The number of dollars made or
Margins at any level ?

In my 7 years in the investment business, the number of dollars made seemed to matter the most in the long run.
I am sure that you disagree, But dollars made along with the number of Dollars expected always seems to surface as the ultimate indicator of stock direction.
