PPT or computer buying?

There are some people that believe the 3:30pm ramp up is because of computer trading or a working group that is commonly called PPT (Plunge Protection Team).

Initially, when I saw references to stuff like that I thought people were joking, but there have been a few studies done that show if you buy at 3:30pm, and then went short at 3:45pm on the market, that your returns would far out pace buying or selling at other times of the day.

While it is not clear what exactly is going on, it is clear that something is going on at times, since some stocks or markets will have a sudden rise or fall with nothing in the news to explain why it is happening.
