Profitable companies are evil. Exxon Mobile is demonized for being profitable, unlike numerous other companies that require handouts from the government and are cutting back on jobs. Exxon Mobile thrives, provides thousands of jobs and puts huge amounts of money into our economy via taxes, wages and dividends. Despite this fact politicians continue to give millions of dollars to poorly run failing companies. That's like going to a race and putting all of your money on a long shot and expecting to win. When you invest in successful companies everyone benefits. When you invest in unsuccessful companies you may get lucky but more often than not you will only get burned.
