You may very well be correct - some behind the scenes changes could easily have occurred with program trading and "retail" numbers too. I have neither seen nor heard any facts one way or the other. We do know that "dark pools" are being used by large traders more and more so that's a factor... and I have little clue how big the factor is. There are also a few other periods where there were also massive drops in program trading percents - mid 2006 being the two best examples, and the drops were larger than the recent one too. The one that confuses me is the retail or public share volume - it has literally doubled in the last month or so, but that's not unprecedented either - it happened in late 2001, mid 2002 and a number of time in 2005. Bottom line, the data is the data. Whether its false or not, it still will likely affect the markets.
