Has anyone noticed that the favorite mo-mo stocks correlate EXACTLY with the dow/naz averages?

This can be explained by two methods:

1) Daytraders are watching CNBC and get excited when a shift in the dow/naz averages makes them more likely to buy/sell those stocks

2) Computer programs based on the averages are doing the buying/selling for them.

There is simply no way to explain why BRCM/insert momo stock here/etc would start going up whenever the naz average bounces, even if only for a minute, and why those same stocks would go down instantly whenever the averages go lower.

I'm not talking about a daily correlation, I'm talking about a 30 second to 1 minute correlation.
