Yes, a new weighting of the index components.  For instance, WMT had 20% removed from its weighting and funds sold it off on the close due to that.  I shorted Walmart at $46 last week and covered 1 minute before the close at $43.90.  MSFT was also lowered as the new calculations removed shares not in the float .. those closely held.
