ild, I have no idea if Washington will fix double taxing on dividends. I am not going to make decisions on purchases of stocks based on the assumption that they would pass any stockholder friendly tax measures. I do not think the companies would be lobbying for this because they can manage their earnings better with using their capital to buy back stocks at high prices. If this tax initiative would pass the stockholders would demand dividends which would take away some of the punch to engineer the financials. I personally have not seen any changes in the way CEO's are operating in 2002 than in the 1990's. It looks to me like they are fighting change tooth and nail and the boys and girls in Washington are backing them.

I am searching for foreign companies that deliver dividends that are not taxed by the governments where they do business .

I think the Republicans will try and push through a fairly large tax break for the high income entities since they believe these folks/institutions will invest their capital to increase economic activity. I also think this will blow up in their face as most of this capital should flow overseas where there is more opportunity for return on capital.

I am full of hope today. <g>
