Just to answer one question... There definitely are companies that are on the stock market without a growth mindset. One way to identify them is to look for companies that return a significant amount of money to their stock holders in the form of a dividend. Many REITS fit this description as utilities and telecom companies. I'm always surprised this answer doesn't come up more, but I guess these companies aren't particularly sexy. Note: These companies still feel market pressure. No one is staring at Duke Energy expecting them to grow 15% a year, but people would be pretty frustrated if DUK broke its 13 year 4.5% dividend streak.
