For beginners, it can seem like a good idea (and an exciting prospect) to buy a company that tells a good story to investors, even if it currently lacks a track record of revenue and profit. Sometimes these stories can cloud the minds of investors, leading them to invest with their emotions rather than on the merit of good company fundamentals. A loss-making company is yet to prove itself with profit, and eventually the inflow of external capital may dry up.

对于初学者来说,收购一家向投资者讲述好故事的公司似乎是个好主意(也是一个令人兴奋的前景),即使该公司目前缺乏收入和利润记录。有时,这些故事可能会给投资者的思想蒙上阴影,导致他们用自己的情感进行投资,而不是根据良好的公司基本面的优点进行投资。亏损的公司尚未用利润证明自己,最终外部资本的流入可能会枯竭。

While profit isn't the sole metric that should be considered when investing, it's worth recognising businesses that can consistently produce it.
