"Aston-Martin makes profit"

Or so a whole item on the VTM news said today. So what, I thought—companies make profit all the time. In fact, they're supposed to. I was just about to wonder what the news value in that was, when the anchor went on to say...

they've had to wait a long time for that, because in the 91 years that the brand has existed, this is the first time they make profit

What?!?

I surely hope the company I co-founded won't take that long to make profit. I don't think I'm that persistent.

Turns out the people who founded Aston-Martin weren't, either. It's been bought over and over by millionaires who then lost a fair bit of money at it, and has declared bankruptcy seven times. Finally been bought up by Ford who, well, kinda knows the automobile business inside out.
