So this is weird and VERY suspicious... So I got paid Friday (3/13). I have a 401k account. However the broker executed the buy for this on March 2nd, a full 11 days before I got paid. Why? Looking back, the Iran war started Saturday, February 28th. Monday March 2nd was the first trading day after the start of an event that would likely crater the markets. And sure enough their system auto bought right at the fucking top. Given its a mutual fund owned by the broker, means I paid top dollar early for something that had it executed friday (or even sometime next week) would likely have been bought at a depressed price. Am I crazy or does this sound like they are gaming us? I've seen it buy other times amazingly early ahead of my check and usually right before a big market blow up, its like they know when shit is about to get real. Not all the time, but when theres big negative news brewing or in this case, an idiotic war.
