In the coming months — when investors realize that
Obama will raise the cap gains rate — there could be
a stampede of asset sales as investors rush to take their
profits now to avoid Obama's doubling of the tax rates next year.

As compared to the current stampede? With the exception of precious metals
and possibly a few other tangible assets, what profits?

Bob, trust me on this or don't, but there is ALWAYS honest profit to be
made in any market - if someone is losing money, someone is making it.
Hell, if it weren't for the "Great Depression," you very well might have
never heard of Joe Kennedy and his spawn. And we made money in October
'87, which was another supposed "end of the world." In fact, if they
listened to me, at least two ROFFians made something on the order of 25%
on whatever they invested in the last coupla months. Hell, I'm up about
65% or so on the year.

HTH,
