I wish economaniack would post more, I probably have more of his posts market than anyone else. I don't play in the options market either, because timing is one thing I'm terrible at. But options expiration, particularly tripple witching with index and options settling at the same can cause a lot of short term dislocations. This is especially true if someone is trying to corner the market in some way.

Lots of put settling requires lots of stock selling by the brokers to keep their put/call liability at 0. If someone also has a lot of shares to sell they can drive the market down like today. At least that's the way my Magoo eyes see it.
