Just your occasional reminder that companies Do. Not. Need. To. Grow.
They can stay small, do good business, and make good profits, and any investors can be secure in the knowledge that their money is safe and that they will be paid out dividends every year.
Many really good businesses have failed or become toxic swamps because leadership embraced the "must grow" mindset, and started gambling.
