BTW, I have to agree with you on the revenue, earnings vs profits. I don't think they are the same thing at all. Profit is what is left over after paying the operating and other expenses. Anyway, that is how I do business. If my revenue never exceeded my expenditures, my banker would shut me off pretty darn fast. And without profits, I would be pretty darn hungry, other than what I can get the business to pay for, which goes into expenditures.
