    I'm an independent investor. I make my living from the returns on my investments. I work at home, in the northern part of the San Francisco Bay area. I spent most of my career as an executive in high-tech, although I also spent time in banking. Down to one kid in university now!

Classic End of Month Window Dressing

August 31st, 2004 by independence

Today is the last day of August and a jam job is in progress. You can’t tell who, but this occurs regularly at month-end and is generally believed to be the result of the funds jamming the stocks they own, to make themselves look as good as possible.

No it isn’t legal, but they probably figure they won’t get caught or they simply don’t care.
