Choad, I see this over and over again when watching the tick. many times just before the numbers are released I see large buy programs go through as if to get the momentum going before the report is released. I often see these a big buy program hit when a possible negative headline hits the wire- like a bombing or something. The market is becoming a big sham in my opinion. The little guy will take it again in the chest when the big guy decides to leave him holding the bag (of overvalued equities).
