you made me grin too..never thought about the investors down the road screaming for higher losses on tax returns..but most of this money might be in their IRAs so ....even if they switchout with a bad correction..I guess government won't collect those capital gains.. oops ..think I just went around in a circle.. but the money that isn't in IRA's.... think the government is a bit like El Nino...they taketh but will have to give some back..wonder what the breakdown in taxes from corporations and incomes and from capital gains... let's face it..how many states' coffers have reaped huge goldmines from all the capital gains they have taken in..next to corporation heads, they have made out like bandits..(maybe one can read it as a plus for the US citizens since hopefully they are getting it back in better services?--comments most welcome) anyways saw in Barrons that somebody said corporate profits are deceptive since they aren't figuring in stock options for employees.. somebody want to comment on that one.. bobby II ps anybody read the dismal article in Barron's about mergers..this week it was worth the $3...
