>>>Tuesday, the 29th is the first day that investors can cash in for 1999 gains<<< I just lurk here, but I've always believed that trade date, and not settlement date, is used for purchase and sale. Under this scenario we can wait until 3:59 on Dec. 31 to sell for losses or gains. Have I been wrong all these years? Or is there something else that I don't understand?

Bobby, In one of my earlier updates I had mentioned a DOUBLE TOP formation in my analysis not in price action. This does not occur that often, but when it does there are 2 possibilities - a technical breakout or a mid/longer-term top. Also, my CLASS 1 SELL occured this week, so its in line with your DEC 24 date seeya

I received and forwarded erroneous information on the selling of securities for profits in l999. Although this information came from a Senior VP at a major firm, I should have looked at it more carefully. In sum, one can sell for a loss or sell for a gain in l998 up until this Thursday the 31st. A buy on the 29th will push the settlement date into l999. Sorry for any concerns that this created. Bad day all around for me as I was stopped out of my short on AOL. The parabolism continues. WHAT A COUNTRY!
