re:<<I'd like to see some money rotate back into the stock market but it would take some tax breaks like RE gets to compete >> From what I can see, the recent tax cuts applying to stock dividends have indeed caused money to rotate into stocks, or at least some stocks. Checked out any stocks of companies which pay out decent dividends lately? Check the utilities index (and as an example, look at the performance of XLU--a utilities ETF). The financial stocks look fairly promising, too. After taxes last year, I came out pretty good as a result of those dividend tax cuts. Expect to do the same again, simply by loading my portfolio with dividend-payers and trading only when I have a significant long-term gain subject to lower cap gains rate.
