The week's question

The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

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.
