Not that what Wall Street thinks on a day-to-day basis matters a whole lot to me, but I don’t know of many companies that can focus on simply existing and continue to grow revenue and/or beat earnings expectations.

It’s called an investment because there is associated risk involved. We get it. They’re scared. What these companies don’t realize, though, is that they’re defaulting to the bigger risk of assuming some startup with a great product isn’t going to come along and wipe them off the map.
