Head-scratcher yeah. Unless it was all part of the plan to tank the economy. Oh well, I guess I’ll have to quit holding my stocks on Monday and sell. It’s cool, they’ve had a good run since I bought them in 2003. I’ll still make a lot of money - and a lot of capital gains taxes too. I took my 401k out of equities last week...thanks goodness. I had one day (monday) before it took effect so didn't lose a whole lot and was still up for the year.
