      A new tax reform plan from House Republicans aims to permanently lower the corporate tax rate to 20 percent, and calls for one-time tax rate of 12 percent on cash returns and 5 percent on non-cash for corporate money repatriated from overseas.

I've seen this before, kind of like "Friday rallies"...

But whatever happened to the "September sell-off" idea? It didn't seem to happen to any extent. Are these expressions meaningless or has this year been a fluke?
