G3,

I suspect a large holder decided to dump. Very large blocks in early trading after opening belayed by over an hour drove it straight dn.

With ~90 million shares out, SE is 81% institution owned and 9% insider owned. Needless to say, the float is very thin, resulting in extreme imbalance. We have already traded 5 times the normal volume in just half an hour of trading. I think the real price will surface once the big boys are done juggling their positions.

There were 2 analyst downgrades. Listen to CC and you can tell that they had already decided before the call what they were going to do and were simply looking for a way to justify it. If I were SE I would clarify things with a more clearly stated release and then ask SEC to launch an investigation into possible stock manipulation.
