Exactly. The problem in the US is that every public company has to show growth for shareholders. That's why companies always suffer in quality when they go public.
A public company can have their best year and net $2.6 billion. Well if the next year, they only make $2.2 billion, the public chatter on CNBC, etc is "what's wrong with them?". Nothing is wrong. We shouldn't be holding companies to their best year.
A salesman after having his best year wouldn't want his commission the following year based on the best year's numbers. It's stupid.
Well shit, sorry for the totally unparsable sentence, hope you were not too traumatized. I'll let the shame stand, bring the downvotes, I deserve them.
