Reynolds,

Thanks for the article on R&D write-offs. I am still thinking about the subject. It really doesn't effect me because I usually invest in food, beverage, alcohol, candy and restaurants etc... Not too much R&D there unless you consider my occasional Saturday night drinking binges. I don't so much mind the idea of the immediate write-off because I exclude amortization of goodwill in my valuations anyway. In my mind the cash income would be the same. It's the size of the write-offs that I would worry about. If the true value of R&D in progress is 1 billion and they write-off a bigger number, there may be some abuse there.
