About R&D Expense

R&D expenses are a line item from many companies' income statements.

R&D expense (short for research and development expense) is essentially the amount of money that a company spends to develop new products and services each year. For example, if a pharmaceutical firm hires research scientists to develop new drugs, the salaries of these researchers will generally be expensed in the R&D expense category.

Like marketing expenses, but unlike capital expenditures, R&D expenses are subtracted from revenues every year directly. Therefore, accountants treat R&D spending as an expense rather than as an investment, though there is continuous debate over whether this is the correct classification.

An investor looking at companies with large R&D expenditures should think hard about whether a single company's R&D spending is an expense (like buying rubber to produce tires) or whether it is an investment (like buying machinery to produce tires more efficiently). Determining the answer to that question can have a large impact on how the company is valued.

I didn&#39;t realize that 40% of iPhone sales at $S were new customers. Good sign. I guess the unlimited data package is making a mark.

$S in my opinion best strategy for the coming year , buy at $2 sell at $2.50, play this &quot;YOYO&quot; 4 or 5 times a year, and you will make money

@altonjjones $S just needs a couple of strong, positive 1-2% days. After 2.50 she will break out in my opinion.
