An ROE < 10% is nothing to be proud of and it's easy to show good
growth coming off a low base. Perhaps you'll be touting 200% EPS
growth by SGI in F98 since F97 has been such a disaster. (Or will
it be -200%, since profit divided by loss is negative?) That
doesn't prove anyone can finance 200% growth over the long run
with a 10% ROE.

Since you have all this data, what were the EPS of Acme and Zemex
for the last five or six years when they had this great "growth"
with negligible ROE?
