I honestly find the current corporate finance system ridiculous when you really think about it. A company has to continue growing, otherwise it's seen as a failure and stocks go down. For example, if a business makes in profit (completely arbitrary numbers) $1.50 one year, $1.75 the next year, $1.70 the year after that, $1.80 the year after that, then $1.79 the year after that, it's considered a struggling business because of the two years profits went down. Even though its trending up, and most small business owners would be happy to see this type of steady growth, shareholders don't like to see this.

Agreed. This makes companies try to chase growth in idiotic ways instead of trying to grow normally.
