Jeff, thanks for the info.
<The maximum Federal rate is 35% but you can't forget about state taxes, international taxes, and the fact that goodwill associated with stock acquisitions is not deductible. An individual investor generally can't predict tax rates, it is probably easiest to just use 38 to 40%...>

But most hi tech companies don't show anywhere near 35% for taxes. Is that because of tax credits and the like or are they just underreporting taxes? (Seems like that would result in a ballooning liability someplace on the balance sheet.)

For example, Intel's "net income before taxes" was 3,823, but after adding amortization of goodwill back in, its net before taxes was 4,243. But they only said taxes were 1,314. That's a 31% rate. TIA.
