Chuck,
I completely agree with John. Money is not everything, and neither is maximum profit. Do what you feel is best and follow your own heart/ conscience/sense of ethics. Whatever your inner voice says is most likely right.
Wise choosing to you. You are clearly asking the kinds of important questions that Wall Streeters (and many of the rest of us) fail to ask or consider adequately.
Regards,
