Besides, for truly long term investors with deep pockets, there is no real incentive to buy stocks till new year as the tax on long term gains will be 18% if you bought them after Dec 2000. So, there will be a buyer strike. (I am speculating).

I think you are incorrect about this. I asked around and got this back as an answer:

"The LTCG rate change most likely applies to sales after Jan 1 if you
purchased at least one earlier. It would not apply only to new purchases.
At least this is the way rate changes have been put into effect in the past."
