whether revenue or profits are up or down, does not reward stockholders and there is no logical connection between stock price and higher profit since the stockholder gets none of the profits. Strangers are expected to pay more for the same stock to give a phony 'profit' to earlier stockholders. It's a damn 'PONZI' game. The company insiders keep it all in the form of extreme salaries and bonuses which the stockholders do not get. Screw all stocks.
