I certainly don't intend on pulling my money out of the market, but I have taken a number of capital gains this year instead of waiting for next year. It can turn into a real problem for me....I am heavily invested in pipeline stocks which have been paying a "return of capital" instead of a "dividend". As such, they have been tax free. If that changes, it could certainly affect the stock price and my income.
