I remember riding on a plane somewhere in the late 1990's listening to a twenty-something explain his "can't lose" plan to make a fortune buying technology stocks and retiring to Aruba by the time he was 30. I came home that night and sold 80% of my portfolio.

Also, instead of Profitable/Not Profitable side-by-side, what about stacked, ie moving that dimension pill to the rows shelf instead of columns shelf. I believe these two changes could make the gap easier to see.
