I assume because not as many people bought stuff as they anticipated.

But you need to compare it to the revenue and value of the company.  A 
company that loses $50m but is only worth $150m is in trouble, but one 
worth $30000m probably doesn't need to worry about losing $50m in a bad 
year.

Because the shareholders believe you have a plan to make profit at some 
point...
