Brushwud - Have a cold beer and settle down! Sell your SGI stock and buy something you can be happy with. Your story doesn't fit real numbers. >No, not really. If you put $40,000 down on a $200,000 house and >sell it a year later for $240,000, what's your ROE? What's your ROI? >I'd say 100% to both. ROA would be a different story. ROE is the >true measure of business acumen. >My original point is this: if a company gets an X% ROE, then it can >grow the business without changing the business model by swelling >every line on the balance sheet (from cash to receivables to >inventory to payables to debt and equity) by X%. Then if they get >X% ROE the following year, they will show X% profit growth. If they >get X% ROE and they want to grow by MORE than X%, they have to sell >more shares (and dilute the ownership) or borrow more money (and >increase the risk). So in the long run, you can't really expect the >shares to increase in value any faster than ROE, except maybe if >interest rates decrease, which would be favorable for all stocks. Well then I guess then at least the 45 companies listed below really cooked their books to get their EPS growth numbers! All of these have sustained EPS growth rates over 20% for the past 5 years with an average ROE < 10%.
