"Who is selling today and why....I can't fathom selling here...ridiculous!! "

Day Traders and those who bought it when it was lower are selling because they made their profit and will move on from a stock that does not look like a mover for the day.
If a stock that closes strong does not gap big the next Am and then gets weak , traders will dump quick . It was weak from the getgo this morning ( I was surprised).
My general rule of quasi Day Trading ( I am not a true day trader :-} ) is to sell some right at the open (sold some @ 15 /14 )then wait a bit to see what happens. It was still weak so I sold again at 14 3/4 and 14 1/2 but still kept some. I dont mind hanging on to shares at this price level , if it dips a couple of points I will buy more and trade it the same way again on a run up. I have many times sold my whole position in a stock only to watch it continue to run so I keep a little just in case .
This is also a good strategy for those who want this as a long term Investment , have some to trade and to hang onto .
