Jeffrey,

I agree with you that my home-brewed research has it's problems, but in general after running screens and removing the no-grow to very slow growers historical returns tend to improve in the samples I work with.

Admittedly my data does have problems (AAII Stock Investor):
-The database is not complete in that it only includes companies present today. Companies that have been bought-out or gone-under would not be weighted in the screen.
-It is likely biased by other screening criterion I use, such as ROE requirements, debt level restrictions, market cap requirements,etc.

What do you think would be a "fair" test to run to isolate value stocks with and without sales growth? I'm interested for input here, because I'm needing to develop some new screens with superior historical performance to generate some new investment ideas.
