Morning Polvie:

You know, sometimes I think that Uncle Sam is deeply involved (here goes another conspiracy theory) is setting up scenario's whereby the holder of a stock with substantial appreication is scared into selling his/her positions thereby forcing that person to take short term capital gains, at the expense of the investor/trader/speculator, to the gain of the gov't. This may be the new gov't stratagy to reduce the deficit. Create a scenario where you have traders racking up significant gains going tech/biotech, then creating a "sky is falling" atmosphere just to snag these short term capital gains. I'm on to you guys now.....

David

BTW, I'm pretty much in the same boat that your in.
