Simple profit taking following options expiration with multi day run up that caused all the averages to be up by over 5%. An easy call. Thanks for the explanation. I guess my question was more along the lines of, "Gee, everything was going along fine until about 2:15 when, as if in coordinated fashion, all of those stocks plummeted, in tandem. Why?" Hard to imagine "profit-takers," presumably acting independently, all arriving at the same conclusion vis a vis 2:15.
