### Comment:
sorry that was kinda tongue-in-cheek - people will lock in gains regardless of which tax year they're in, especially if they anticipate a pullback. unless they have unusual income projections for 2018 or 2019, that could sway them to sell specifically in one period or another.

### REPLY:
yeah, i think for the most part that is true. Do you have any opinion on the overall short strategy?
