maxiep, I think there's time for one last money grab then get out. Bubble is inflating, we'll have 2-3 years before this all comes to a head.

Obama is right. I and my partners have made enough money. I can absorb massively higher taxes without it affecting my lifestyle. The choice my firm has made is not to participate in trying to grow in this new society. We could continue to make money for us, our investors and our employees, but it's not worth the hassle. We're out.

Because it won't stay that way. There maybe a huge sell off of investments; so investors won't be hit by next year's capital gain tax increase. The housing will get a huge hit as well because many will try to sell their rental properties for this very same reason. There is no incentive to buy unless you are going long (4 more years) before selling the property.
