do stocks go up every fortnight. when 401K contributions are rolled in

I have a simple question? Do any fellow traders make it a point to time trades. so that the millions of 401K contributions which mostly go into mutual funds which in turn are all LONG( i dont think there is a 401K which allows you to go short ? is there?)

hence does anyone monitor and for example play with the trend. or short it shortly after the money is factored in.

I assume 401K contributions are always net positive.. or may be a balancing into cash but overall still positive .
any link where I can see the net USA total 401K added in each forthnight/ year
