The reason for the hecticness was that the funds had to balance by the end of business on Friday. CNXT is in the S&P500 as of Monday morn. yes, the news came out the day before. But, Friday was the last day to purchase prior to the rebalancing. So, I can see why late afternoon and after-hours was hectic. That's all that was happening.

on CNXT: swap from MidCap mutual funds to S&P funds? I remember in July (when dorked by superfluous Q shares) we all saw the MidCap funds exit we all awaited the S&P funds arrival they never showed up they were treated to a backroom deal, screwing investors at least some shorterm invstors, esp option holders my guess is some deals were cut between big funds they would exchange some large positions perhaps wouldnt it have the appearance you described? maybe some personal relationships among fund managers? thanks for not rubbing my nose in it on Thurs/Friday best to you, Jim
