people there went short earlier in the week or bought short ETF's and got spanked. when i went long on wednesday i checked the put/call ratio and it hit 1.47 on the 15th and started to drop.
i guess a few smart souls remembered there is options expiration today and decided to close out their puts even though the TV said to buy Guns and Ammo. The US Government has a long history of pulling stunts like this and the next day people always go on CNBC and complain how the US Government is against them, shorts etc.
