Why do some small caps tank on option expiration day?

Is that because naked-put shorts are dumping the stock they had to buy?
If that was the case then naked-call longs would be causing some stocks to soar and I don't see that.

Or is it price manipulation of some sorts?

A few examples from last Friday: CEP, CVO, GBE, FCEL

Is this a tradable phenomenon? :confused:

"That" probably had more to do with the Goldman Sachs "news" than anything else. All of the financials were pulled into that vortex. :cool:
