A lot of wisdom in that IMO.

One thing that Warren Buffet has written on is the value of retained earnings per share and his belief ( which I believe history has supported) that these undistributed earnings overtime will show up in a stocks value.

He is also a big proponent of ROE as a measure of whether or not a company has fruitfuly used retained earnings. He also strongly believes that its becomes increasingly difficult for a company to do this using ROE because of the growing base (equity) each year.
