Yeah, I figured the last 45 minutes as Hedge fund liquidations. In addition, volume was lighter.

The real test comes Monday. If we get another retest of Dow 8000 next week, it will likely fail and we'll get Bobcor's wet dream.......<G>

I've heard that big orders are being held back till the end of day to see if they can bring the market back. I've noticed these big disparities during the intraday rallies between the Dow and the S&P 500 (as well as other indices) and then the Dow catches up with the market at the close.

Interesting how the bears let the bulls run it up only to massacre them mercilessly.

Hedge fund selling in advance of a Saturday deadline contributed to the market's gyrations

There is one slight problem with this theory. The deadline is for requests to withdraw funds by the end of the year. The selling to raise the money to cover the requests can continue. It has nothing to do with Nov 15 AFAIK. You don't get your money out on Nov 15.
