Chapters

I don't really want to too much about the business, but yeah, our cash return on capital invested is about 50% higher than the S&P 500 since the day we started the company to today. And this has been a decade of terrible returns in our industry. Our industry has probably had less than half the average cash return on capital invested than the S&P 500. But our returns have been two to three fold higher than our industry and higher than the industry as a whole. For just the reason you say we're known for our efficiency or our our cutting edge technology. Why do we have all those things? They all only come from one place. It's the people. That's where technology comes from. That's where innovation comes from. That's where processes come from. They're not separate inputs with your humans. They're created by your team member and your family in the company.
