jmac, <The instability was caused by CNBC announcing that...> You seem to not understand the paradigm of "instability". A stability/instability is an inherent property of objects. It cannot be "caused" by an information agency, it is somewhere inside the object and reflects interaction between object's parts - its potential, mass, internal bonds or lack of thereof, confidence, etc. The CNBS announcing is a perturbation to the state of the object, i.e the Intel market. The level and shape of reaction of the object to perturbations is an important indication about how soon the object can blow up.
