>>their return on assets<< Makes sense to leverage any business a little more if you can continue to grow it at a good clip and sustain profitability. I agree with that. One has to be forward looking, though. You can't make static assumptions about returns on assets, right? Not meaning to be annoying. Your arguments seem well-reasoned to me. A lot of other companies are not as well positioned as MRK and IBM, perhaps? Current returns on assets are not necessarily a good indicator of those expected in the near future?
