some input please from regulars as well as lurkers first, what are the market hours next 2 weeks, both Fridays, closed, short, or normal hours? main topic is how will y2k impact the market, if at all, and what are all here doing with your trades + portfolio in past years, dogs have stayed down or gone lower cause of tax loss selling many people have huge gains and tax hits due and will want to take losses to offset will the dogs give an early "Jan effect" pop or stay down till 12/31? huge gainers have tended to stay up or go higher people do not want to take more profits and pay ever more 99 taxes funds want them up as high as possible so their YE #'s look great then the first week in Jan we have often seen a 5-10% selloff in them as people/funds sell into the new tax year ditto again this time? most of us do not think that y2k will be the end of the world as we know it but some say stay off your computer for 2 days some will no fly some worry about terrorism etc etc but many part time day traders will be at home with fingers on the stock buy/sell button what impact, if any I guess I'm just pondering on what the "unwashed mob" may be thinking and how if at all this should impact what we "full timers" do over the next few weeks please post a brain dump or two on this thanks
