Monty ; Another message most of the market is missing
is missing.
The AICPA has recently changed the rules and these companies that have been buying other companies and will no longer have to amortize the purchased goodwill.
This was , announced just before Christmas, and is to be
retroactive applied & it will affect the reported
EPS for this current quarter.
While it's all on paper it sure will help the
P/Es of companies like CSCO.
-----------
Instead of re-stating earnings down ward , as soon
as the book keepers finish a rash of re-stating up-wards
will likely hit.
And taht could do as much or more than the
rate cut.
