Closing Corporate Tax Loopholes Is Easier Said Than Done

XCSFDHG46767FHJHJF

tdp2664 InvestorPlace Herman Cain's surprising surge in the race for the GOP nomination this week can be at least partially attributed to the appeal of his 9-9-9 tax plan. Although he is short on specifics, the basic idea is to eliminate all special deductions and move to a flat corporate rate of 9%. Clearly, this former CEO has tapped into something widely appealing. Democrats and Republicans do not appear to agree on anything in this caustic political season. However, both parties have supported the general idea of simplifying the corporate tax code to lower the rate. On paper, U.S. corporations pay a very high rate of taxes as compared to their counterparts overseas. However, given the wide array of credits, deductions and subsidies (i.e. "loopholes"), many companies actually pay a low rate — or no tax at all. Creating a more simple and fair tax code seems commonsensical. But the details of such an endeavor probably are insurmountable. Although the details of the 9-9-9 plan remain vague, we can surmise the basics. The first phase of Cain's plan has three main elements: eliminating most credits and deductions for individuals and corporations; imposing a flat tax on income and creating a new national sales tax. Ideally, Cain would like to eliminate all federal taxes and replace them with a national sales tax of 30%. Eliminating credits and deductions completely and replacing them with a lower, flat corporate tax rate has also been endorsed by Jon Huntsman and other GOP leaders. While the simplicity of this idea is appealing, the effects of such a radical transformation would be extraordinarily complex. The corporate tax code basically is a massive system of rewards and penalties for certain behavior. (For that matter, so is the individual tax code. We'll look at that separately.) Some of these rewards are small and specific — tax credits that congressmen have parceled out to their favored constituents. For example, Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell, of Kentucky, already is making noise about keeping the tax credit for horses in Kentucky. Sen. John Kerry, D-Mass., continues to support a credit that benefits the Samuel Adams Brewery in Boston .

Dividends from China’s Apple Tree

The sad news of the passage of Apple (NASDAQ: AAPL ) co-founder Steve Jobs put
the spotlight on the tech giant's future. Will Apple stock continue being the
juggernaut it has been during the past decade, or will shares falter now that
Steve Jobs is gone? That question will have to be answered with time; however,
before Jobs left the Apple's helm, he put one plan in place that's likely to
pay dividends for investors willing to look to the Far East. In late August,
Chinese telecom giant China Mobile (NYSE: CHL ), the largest mobile wireless
provider in the world with more than 600 million subscribers, confirmed that it
was in talks with Apple to offer the iPhone on its specialized TD-SCDMA network.
During a press conference following the carrier's earnings announcement, China
Mobile Chairman Wang Jianzhou noted that he had met with Steve Jobs to discuss
bringing a customized version of the phone to the carrier. No deal was
confirmed, but the smart money is betting that the iPhone will make its way to
China via China Mobile at some point in 2012. Click to Enlarge Actually, the
iPhone, along with its beefed-up tablet brother the iPad, already are available
in China through the country's second-largest mobile carrier, China Unicom
(NYSE: CHU ). Both devices have enjoyed wild success, and in the most recent Q2
update from Apple, CEO Tim Cook said, "Greater China saw iPhone sales up over
3x, about 200 almost 250%. And this catapulted revenue for the first half or
first fiscal half in Greater China to just under $5 billion, which is up almost
4x year-over-year." There is no reason to believe that Apple's growth in
China will be anything but robust, and that bodes well for a new iPhone outlet
via China Mobile. Now, since I am all about buying stocks for dividends and high
yield, if Apple paid a dividend, I would be all over it. I also would be partial
to China Unicom based on the Apple connection if the stock had a reasonable
dividend yield, but with a measly yield of about 0.5%, it doesn't meet my
requirements for dividend-oriented investors. China Mobile has a dividend yield
of 3.8%, so if your objective is getting a solid income stream from an
Apple-related stock with tremendous growth potential, then CHL definitely is one
to check out. On its own, China Mobile has impressive stats. The company has a
market capitalization of $193 billion and is growing top-line revenues by about
9%, to $79 billion, as of the second quarter. Profit margins are running at 24%,
and it has $51 billion in cash on hand with a payout ratio of only 37%. Those
are great metrics by themselves, and really enough reasons to love CHL. But when
you add in the Apple factor to the mix well, you get dividends straight from
China's Apple tree. Disclosure: Bryan Perry recommends China Mobile in his
Cash Machine advisory service.

Should You Buy the Dow — Intel

Today, were looking at Dow Jones Industrial Average component Intel (NASDAQ:
INTC ). Intel is known for making chips for computers, but whats the broader
scope? Well, the chips or microprocessors are put into servers, workstations,
storage products, embedded applications, communications products, consumer
electronics devices and handhelds. These little boogers handle graphics, audio
and video, input, display, storage devices, CDs, DVDs and Blu-ray drives. Beyond
chips, the company makes flash memory products and software products comprising
operating systems, middleware and tools used to develop devices. Additionally,
it develops computing platforms, which are integrated hardware and software
computing technologies designed to offer an optimized solution. My head is
already spinning, but near as I can figure, it the key driving factors regarding
Intel are the economy and competition. One thing I know about competition is
Intel doesn't have much of it. Sure, there are some companies that make chips,
but Intel is the gold standard and the big brand name. Then there are the
repeated fines from the government over monopoly abuses. I might not know tech,
but I know investing, and I want a monopoly if I can invest in one. So I would
hope that Intels financials are stellar, because if you have a monopoly and your
financials stink, youve got bigger problems than the FTC. Intel carries $11.5
billion in cash against only $2.1 billion in debt, for a net cash position of
$9.4 billion, or $1.80 per share. So debt is not an issue with Intel. Cash flow
is fantastic. Even during the financial crisis in 2008-09, the company generated
$5.8 billion and $6.6 billion of free cash flow, respectively, and leaped to
$11.4 billion in 2010. Intel is a cash machine. Stock analysts looking out five
years on Intel see annualized earnings growth at 11%. This is heartening for a
company that is this mature. Fortunately, processors are one of those products
that are constantly being improved, so theres always a new one to buy. At a
stock price of $21 (backing out net cash), on FY 2011 earnings of $2.36, the
stock presently trades at a P/E of only 9. Conclusion Intel looks like a value
play with a P/E of 9 and long-term growth of 11%. With all its cash, it also is
able to handily pay its 3.8% yield. Slapping an 11 P/E on projected 2015
earnings of $3.70 gets us a price target of $41, or a 100% total return
including dividends. I believe Intel is a buy for regular accounts. I believe
Intel is a buy for retirement accounts. As of this writing, Lawrence Meyers did
not own a position in any of the aforementioned stocks.
