As a consumer, of course I care how much profit is being generated by a company - Porsche is a money machine for the benefit of its stockholders, not its consumers. Yes, I get value but in my opinion, not enough for the dollars I spend with Porsche. That's why I have placed a deposit on a R8 V10, for example.

BTW, can you answer this question:

"As a consumer, why do you care how much profit ExxonMobil makes?"
