i thought that would be a main driver for a while, but i think in order to be a truly f*cked up mkt, it should screw those who are greedy and holding till next yr while rewarding those who sell now so that would mean that we selloff now and actually end up w/ tax LOSS selling into yr-end....

Between tax reasons and new money that hits the market after January 1 every year, traders have a lot of reason to hold through Y2K weekend. But after that, I reckon it's open season. Earnings could carry the market but the overbought condition has to poop out sooner or later and move back down to the MA's for a while. Just the way the market works over time. There will be a bunch of rich "clowns" ready to hit the malls for post-Christmas sales (myself included). Hope folks here have fun mocking everyone that destroyed the "expert" fund manager's returns in 1999. The cash we hold in January will spend the same regardless.
