How do you come up with 60-90 Billion Dollars? 2000 was a weak year for the stock market and I would expect capital gains to drop accordingly. I would think that the average investor was long the stock market last year and was able to find losses to cover their gains.

Last year the market sold off heavily through April 16. Thereafter, we had a small rally. People may have huge 2000 gains from selling positions like Dell, Yahoo, JDSU, etc. Subsequent losses would have to be staggering to offset these gains if these positions had been held for a long time.

Cut the scare tactics. We're right in the middle of a relief rally. Last rate cut the best day to sell was the day AFTER the cut not the day before it. A breath of optimism is just what this country needs. And income tax liquidations will happen but peoples capital gains this year are also much lower due to tax selling from October to december. I dumped a lot and have no tax to pay. Sold em then replaced em with similar companies. Still very oversold market let's just hope Greenspan is aggressive (unless you're shorting the Fed meeting, if so ouch).
