Bloomberg account: Thursday sell-off erased $3.7 trillion
A r/stocks post citing Bloomberg describes how a Thursday sell-off erased $3.7 trillion, starting with retail investors selling early Thursday to lock in gains after midterm-driven gains. The post says the selling forced hedge funds and long-only managers to accelerate the decline, and that automated market-maker systems triggered further selling due to negative gamma.
