Richard: re ASAK. If twere me, I'd be scared.

Just pulling off the "freightways" companies,I see:

symbol---ROE---p/bv---psr---d/e (all per my favorite: Yahoo)

AFWY__ 8%__ 1.5__ .4__ .9__ (Mike B's valuescreen select.)
USFC__ 16%__ 2.3__ .6__ .3__
CFWY__ 9%__ 1.7__ .2__ .1__ (full serve; 21,000 employees)


USAK__ 16%__ 2.7__ 1.1__ .5__ (full serve?; 1,000 employees)

Richard, you tell me how this company can pull down 16% ROE, and keep going the way it has -- it's already selling for twice the psr of some others, it's already taken on debt, it's already got a very high p/bv. Its growth is going to slow or else competitors will rise to catch them. I don't see otherwise. (Even giving the point that my sample for comparison may not be accurate, or Yahoo numbers or my interpretation might be off). Paul.
