you actually have two different question requirig two different answers.

1. The company that made the most money last year was Exxon-Mobile XOM. There are many other companies that have large and consistant earnings, earnings in the billions of dollars. WMT, MSFT, BAC, C, GE to name just a few that pop into mind.

2. Companies that are worth buying stock in. That part of the question is open to subjective opinion. We really will not know th true answer until after the fact.

Companies that make a lot of money do not necessarily mean that they are worth buying stock in. The may be but they may not also be. What you really want are the companies that are going to make a lot of money during the next 5, 10, 20 years, not necessarily the companies that are currently making a lot of money.

One of my favorite investments has been BAC, steady consistant growth in both earnings and dividends. Only time will tell whether the trend will continue.

You should study a variety of companies before buying stock. The decision is always important, and you must research before buying the stock. You might want some financial assistance as well. My first company that came to mind was Microsoft lol or Apple, but I'm not completley sure. You should look into those two, there sales have been going up so why not? Good luck in finding the company right for you.

I did a portfolio of the top ten profit-earning companies on the S&P500 for the second-half of last year. While it is up 36 percent over purchase now, about Christmas it was about 40 percent higher. A list today could be these, with profits:

XOM, 36 billion
C, 19 billion
GE, 18 billion
BAC, 16 billion
CVX, 14 billion
COP, 13 billion
MSFT, 13 billion
AIG, 11 billion
WMT, 11 billion
MO (Altria), 10 billion

Are they worth buying? Yep. Will all of them always go up? Nope. (And most pay decent dividends too.)

It doesn't matter how much money a company makes. What is most important is who is earning more money than they were last quarter or last year. I think wind energy stocks are the best sector for 2007 (because of global warming). Here are the best wind energy stocks:

For companies that make a lot of money, their stock price usually reflects the high net income they will receive. That is, companies that have good performance usually have a high stock price.

Good Luck
