Sarmad, >One thing that bothers me (among many) is why companies can't make profit at their current revenue rate, when they were making a lot of profit at much lesser revenue several years ago.<

Probably because their expenses are higher: they hired, bought equipment etc.

Check out LLTC. They made a huge profit on a significant reduction of revenues, they use profit to buy shares so employee option dilution is limited, and they pay a dividend which has been increasing.

Unfortunately, since real quality is so rare these days, it isn't cheap. It is lower than September lows, I believe.
