Well just generally late 2013 early 2014 was a good call for cash to be used in 2014.  For tax reason (which ended up not panning out) I deferred most of my sales to just after Jan 1, but I did take some profits in late 2013 just to be safe.  If the guy anticipated a top around the 2013->2014 transition, saying so in early Nov wasn't bad.  I mean anyone who knows what they are doing is not going to be leaving multiple hundreds large laying around with easy access so it will take a lot of people some lead time for staging in order to make a block of sales.
