Yes, a fund sold a substantial number of shares in the last half hour. It appears to be a few of the fund managers who are panicking today. They are throwing away half their profits just before earnings. Not the smartest thing I've seen them do, but they have definitely made much worse moves in the past year. Guess they just don't want to ride the sector's earnings train this month. The good news is that other fund managers seem more than happy to relieve these guys of their positions.
