Tomato,

>>Here's a question - can you have a high ROE with no growth?<<

A company can continue to invest (retain) capital and produce no growth if the position of the business in general is deteriorating or if that capital is not being allocated wisely. Over time this will show up as a deterioration in profit margins and ROE.
