Someone reiterated today on AMZN. Have a feeling the rest is options related due to tomorrow.

Busch_Man:
Are mutual funds subject to the new tax law - classifying long term vs short term investments and taxing respective cap gains at different rates? (what was the time frame? 18 months?)

That may introduce a new "cycle" into the market, overlaying bear/bull markets by the time-discriminating window.
This effect may be especially pronounced for high-flyers (like YHOO) who's (stock price)growth flattens out.

ie investors sitting on large %gains have an additional incentive to hold on to their stock a little longer.
