Where is money flowing for the moment? From Technology into Industrials and Financials. Here are the effective tax rates of the “FANG’s” Facebook ($FB), Apple ($AAPL), Netflix ($NFLX) and Alphabet ($GOOGL). Notice how I omitted Amazon ($AMZN), more on that in a minute.

It looks like Apple’s effective tax rate is the highest there at about 24 percent, how much do you think Apple benefit from a tax cut? Not much.

From the chart Amazon below we can see the tax rate they pay is pretty much all over the place, along with the operating and net income.
