I'm not buying the tax strategy bit. First of all, if I'm going to sell in 1999 to avoid having to pay the tax for the 1998 year, fine. But what makes me so inclined to believe that I have to sell on the FIRST DAY of 1999 trading??!!! I could sell anytime in '99 and still achieve my goal of avoiding 98 tax. There is nothing pressing about Jan 4th '99! Additionally, let's say I do want to cash out some profit, why would I not wait until the strength of the earnings and split runs to do it??!! There are a string of internets all reporting within the last 2-4 weeks of January. I'd be silly not to wait for that strength!
