I object to your use of the word "profit" or "margin" in regards to the above companies, since they clearly have neither profit nor any computable margin.

Unless you're talking about profits made through selling insider shares to the public at these companies- in which case I would grudgingly agree that these companies are some of the most profitable "enterprises" the earth has ever seen!

Glenn, whatever you do...don't get rid of your core business.
It appears to me that it funds your adventure into the cyberspace.
I think your biggest professional character flaw is avoiding debt.
But! If you had public money you probably wouldn't worry so much, especially if you sold off $200mil worth of stock...before the real results came in.
