An Observation, from Jeff Rollert
I wonder if "covering shorts" is a more predominant activity on Fridays than going long. And I wonder what method could test this. We see this today in debt markets for home builders' bonds, covered shorts, but not long buyers.
Bill Rafter adds:
I don't have any proof, just a feeling that you would find Fridays to be mean-reverting, or reversing the Monday to Thursday action. But most of my feelings are wrong, which is why it's important to do the testing.

Climatic selling at its best late in the week saw the markets rates and equity finally break into a gallop and suck in some big ones after months in a slow well control trot. With so much energy now exerted, it looks like Phar Lap, will now look to please the crowd and not the punters.
