    So you’ve seen dept heads, not been one, and that’s make you confident is saying how all businesses operate?

    The stock price is not just based on speculation, Jesus dude. Your revenue massively impacts stock price, saying it doesn’t is just straight stupid.

    You seem to be giving a lot of options that on their face make no sense while never having been in a position where you would actually have to understand and manage these things.

      Stock price is all speculation. Revenue yesterday doesn’t mean revenue today. And you don’t buy stock in a company that stays the same, you buy stock in a company that you speculate will go up in value. Revenue can be going up, and the stock price down because people think the price will go down. How do layoffs make revenue go up? Yet they often make the stock price go up. If the stock prices was super dependent on metrics, algorithms would be making soo much money we wouldn’t have anything else picking stocks. But the algorithm traders can’t predict human speculation. So they tend to work much better on smaller companies where there is less attention and less speculation.
      And not all companies by any means just the big ones. And I am sure there are some exceptions, there always are.
