Here's Why We Think Blue Jet Healthcare (NSE:BLUEJET) Is Well Worth Watching

The excitement of investing in a company that can reverse its fortunes is a big draw for some speculators, so even companies that have no revenue, no profit, and a record of falling short, can manage to find investors. But as Peter Lynch said in One Up On Wall Street, 'Long shots almost never pay off.' A loss-making company is yet to prove itself with profit, and eventually the inflow of external capital may dry up.

If this kind of company isn't your style, you like companies that generate revenue, and even earn profits, then you may well be interested in Blue Jet Healthcare (NSE:BLUEJET). While profit isn't the sole metric that should be considered when investing, it's worth recognising businesses that can consistently produce it.
