Every two weeks, about 60 million Americans have an automatic buy in their 401k accounts.

    This is split up into bi-weekly, semi-monthly, and perhaps weekly, but you would expect most of these buy orders happen on a Friday.

    Does this move the market at all? Is there a benefit to buying on Thursday for the Friday 401k bump?

    I would imagine VOO or SPY is the biggest benefit of this. Are these funds simply too big for the paycheck bump to move the needle?

    Do automatic 401k contributions affect markets?
