Skeeter, If a company is making money then they aren't aggressive enough in investing for the future so you can't reasonably project 600% yearly growth forever. Since you value a company by discounting future revenues, making money now is clearly a negative indicator :>)

Skeets, Well, if they hired you, you could probably teach them how to award themselves (and you, too, if you are real persuasive) huge salaries and benefits so that the company can show the requisite losses on their books prior to an IPO. <g>
