Marty Zweig's growth discipline combines accelerating earnings and sales with a price to earnings ratio that stays within reason and a balance sheet that is not carrying too much debt. The workbook lines up quarterly earnings per share, quarterly revenue, trailing P/E, total debt against last year's total assets and the one year price return for each candidate.

Seeing leverage next to growth is the point: a company posting fast earnings gains on a rising debt load reads very differently from one doing it unaided. Every column populates from MarketXLS formulas.
