Could the weakness in the dollar have anything to do with the drop? Possibly there were some big Japanese investors in the stock. The yen had a big rise today: biz.yahoo.com

"I can surmise three reasons for why insiders are selling 1) Options recently vested and/or 2) Bad news coming and/or 3) An announcement of a takeover or purchase. Usually there is a lock up period after an acquisition or, of course, after being taken over." How about the most obvious reason of all: 4)The stock was at highs that have not been seen for a year and it was a good time to sell and lock in some profits in a nervous market. I am sure that many long-term longs also sold off some of their position.
