ian, same here (on the lack of focus on kry trading lately)...if you're right about the lunch hour then i'd say, yes, something is definately odd.....i used to use the 11-1 timeframe to daytrade certain stocks just for that reason (the street would take them down in the morning, buy them back in the afternoon).

any theories? the only two i can think of are:

1. really dumb retail with a decent amount of shares to sell

2. really smart somebody setting up a buy move
