Just in case anybody is interested, the "Current EPS" field in the Value Line data sets seems to be garbage for Apple.

It seems that VL has all kinds of data issues. A couple of weeks ago I noticed a new stock NTNX showed up in my version of the ROE_Cash2 screen. VL lists it with a Return on Shareholders Equity of 100%+ even though the company is losing money hand over fist. So I decided to add a crap filter to my screen, Current EPS > 0. So now you tell us Current EPS may contain garbage too.
