If I buy a machine for $10,000 that allows me to produce things that I sell with $8,000 profit, and then I sell the used machine for $5,000, that increases the company's value. | |
| Oct 23, 2022 at 1:55 | comment | added | Jack | Are you saying, since Netflix spent their money on assets that can not be sold. The movies only value would be if it made profit? But in other companies if they purchase property etc... the value of the company would increase? | |
