I am surely glad you are not an accountant. You seem to have no
understanding of the underlying nature of business. That you attempt to
attach "investment in capital" with profit as if that were the
point is like saying that high volume will always make you money -- they
just don't equate.

I won't try to give you a lesson in capital assets. I'm afraid it would be futile.
