I think the inverse funds and the levered longs are contributing to this. They rebalance daily, which means that somewhere near the close, they (or their counterparty) has to take corrective action that is pro-cyclical. Funny, isn't it. Whether you're levered long or short, in order to maintain constant exposure, you have to buy on up days and sell on down days. I would guess they do it in the final hour, exacerbating the final hour volatility.

Makes me wonder if they are Distributing to the MF Buyers on their own Recommendations at the Close.

Wouldn't Shock Me at all.

401k's are all Mut Funds .. and Zero ETFs and Zero Individual Stocks. I don't think there are any Self Directed 401s that Allow ETFs.

If so .. Teach Me.
