Just relying on one parameter will land you in grief.

I consider Operating profits as more important that nett profits - this to analyse the long term sustainability of the business. Steady or increasing Operating profits/Sales ratio is the best indicator of a well managed company.

After that you have to look at other parameters.

I think at the end more important is net profit. You can manage substantial amounts of money and benefit poorly from them. Prefer to fork out minor amounts and get a good profit from it, that's why moved from spot trading of Hotforex, to their Optiontrade binary option facility.. Win-or-lose scenarios appeal me more than traditional trading..
