Profit taking! How much of the 22,472,300 shares traded today represents capital gains...and therefore...how much did the government get today in the form of taxes? And how much yesterday?

Anybody got any comments concerning the windfall to the government...or was all the trading just to create losses?

And of course we can't forget that the rest of the market indices went down as well. I'd love to know what today represented in terms of cash flow to the boys inside the beltway who will have to wrestle with the problem of how to spend those dollars.
