dave,
hard to believe that intel spent 8 years and billions on rmbs, then got 70 other companies to spend billions more, then setup their entire future on the rambus technology.
then backed out...and their share price is up 3+ for the day.

the market moves big on hype and rumor.

dave,

I don't know about "automatic" selling, but the 60 support level has been well documented and established. For technical traders once a stock breaks the support, it's a major sell signal. It's like you say, the volume ticked up after it hit 60, along with the bit of FUD that co-incided with the broken support, we may have seen (let us hope) the "capitualation" selling that the next wave of traders/investors were looking for before taking a position. Guess we'll know tomorrow.

Volume pickup and accelerating decline goes hand in hand at end of a down move. More buyers start to come in, of course at the bid, accumulating. The bid keeps dropping and even accelerates downward because there are still plenty of weak hands ready to unload in panic. Classic shakeout/finishing move. If the overall market wasn't in such a delicate situation, today would be unabashedly bullish for RMBS, mho.
