Use some mining profitability calculator with predicted difficulty increases and see yourselves  :)

PS: I dont known of any profitable machine you can buy (or preorder :))

you certainly CAN, difficulty WILL increase exponentially and continue to rise, therefore mining is close to not profitable at all UNLESS you have a very powerful miner (or several of them).

My opinion: Dont bother mining.

Edit: You might not get your BTC back, but it will be fun

It's not very profitable anymore since the difficulty is increasing so quickly.

The short and sweet answer for you is no. Whoever said that you can't lose money in the long run is hugely mistaken.

Yeah at the moment it is still good for the individual. That will likely change as more and more large enterprises are buying up hardware orders.
