Jurgis:

So you are saying that the management is "massaging" the results to get high ROE.

In the cases mentioned, I don't think they are doing anything incorrect. Take a look, for example, at the effect of buying back shares. I'm just saying that compounding with ROE can give misleading growth figures.
