"While daytraders may get much of the blame for the market's nerve-wrecking volatility, they actually have much less power over share prices than institutional investors. Daytraders account for less than 0.1% of the individuals who trade securities, although they represent a disproportionate share of the volume of stock trading.
Contrary to popular belief, fund managers are more jittery than individual investors, according to a recent study. And since institutional investors--pension, retirement and mutual funds--now control more than half of the $35 trillion U.S. stock market, their nervous disposition is reverberating throughout the market. Over the past few months, panic-stricken fund managers have been moving billions of dollars from one market sector to another in a desperate attempt to keep up with their peers."
