I don't see tax selling until March-April at the earliest. Most all the gains came from that period forward. Why would somebody cash out now and pay twice the taxes required for a short term gain? My fear is that fund managers will unload because Q is now far in excess of what they are prudently allowed to hold as a percentage of their portfolio's market value.
