I agree. For people like me at age 39, I don't need my "market money" anytime soon so I won't be touching it. However, if I was 55-60 years old, and I needed that money in the next few years, I'd be selling off all my market stuff too and paying the current cap gains taxes. It seems highly probable that the cap gains taxes are going to go up. Go ObamiNation!
