it's become a market tradition to selland/or buy your tech position 30 minutes to close. most selling is generated from programmed trading. programmed trading represented nearly 23% of all trades in December according to the Dow Jones. programmed trading has obviously been centered on the technology issues, especially semis - they sell these issues because they can, then buy them back when selling volumes dry up from the "small investor"; the selling has little to do with fundamentals and much to do with deja vu
