Subject: Re: Concerns with ROE
One solution is to avoid screening for extremely high ROE. Instead look for above average ROE, and include a check on debt levels (increased debt will decrease equity).
Thanks for that info.
Not backtested but looking at Fidelity Screener the change has some significance.
The obvious is sectors are more distributed with less IT.
