The market is really nasty today -- however, income taxes are due on Monday, and today is the LAST day to sell stock and have it settle in the account by next Tues. - which is cutting it close for those tax checks that will have to be in the mail Monday. I'm guessing that most people will owe MORE in taxes this year due to past year gains in the market, so therefore, stocks are being liquidated to pay the tax. On top of that, the news reports are saying inflation MIGHT be creeping up, which leads to more stock selling. It will be interesting to see if the close today holds the lows from last week or if we make a new low.
