The Importance of Revenue Growth in Selecting Winning Investments
Over the last couple weeks I've been writing about how companies grow and why it's so important to see how the growth is coming because not all growth is created equal.  Today I wanted to give an example of the differences that can arise if you just look at the numbers as reported instead of digging into them yourself.  But first a quick recap.

Companies have 4 ways to organically grow the top line and another way to manufacture that growth.
