Cap ex is by definition, NOT DEDUCTIBLE from current earnings, has no effect on current earnings

Only the depreciation affects current earnings. Depreciation starts from day 1.

Duke,
"Cap ex is by definition, NOT DEDUCTIBLE from current earnings, has no effect on current earnings and doesn't have anything to do with current earnings. Once the plant is "placed in service or use" some YEARS from now, then it is depreciated, then the depreiation will effect earnings."

Thanks a lot for the info. Bummer, the EPS next year may take a big hit.

Maui.
