In Telechart there exists two pieces of data per equtiy, Latest Net Profit Margin and Net Profit Margin (Post Tax). I can't find any info separating the two by definition. The two values differ for the same security very often.
Also, these two pieces of info ALSO differ from the Net Profit Margin data presented by other data distributors, i.e. MSN, Yahoo, Google, Etrade, etc. Why is this so and which one should I put my trust in? I can't really trust something I don't know their origination and basis of.
Thanks...

The key difference is this: "Total Operations" = Continuing Operations + Discontinued Operations.
For any company without any Discontinued operations in the past 4 quarters, the values of the two will be not be different. When Discontinued Operations exist, you will see a difference in values.
