The SEC said that Myers performed his cherry-picking scheme by buying securities in the morning and at the end of the day or sometimes the next day, he allocated trades that had appreciated in value to his own personal and/or business accounts, and allocated trades that had depreciated in value to the accounts of his clients. These were primarily inverse and leveraged exchange-traded funds (ETFs).
