Richard, this has nothing to do with taxes. It relates to how companies report earnings to shareholders. The thrust is to decrease write-offs for "in process R&D" when they consummate mergers. As a result of the clamp-down, some companies won't take the one-time charges and the company's future earnings will be lowered. IMO this is a good thing for investors because it prevents a lot of smoke and mirror accounting.

TTFN,
CTC
