>>Bob, I think the SI hostility index is also correlated with the proximity to April 15th.<< Hmmm... let us see what would make people hostile around April 15. -if people have lost a lot of money, they can only take a 3K deduction but the good news is that they may be getting a refund so they have probably filed much earlier than April1 15, and by April 15 either they are close or already have a refund. -if people made too much money then they can get irritable around April 15 because they have to send a check to uncle Sam around that time, the good news is that they are sitting on a lot of capital gains; I would be happy in that situation. Now are you saying, most people on SI have made lot of capital gains? then they need to visit this thread more often ;-) just kidding ;-)
