IMO

1. Is it because we were artificially inflated over the past 3 months and this has just brought as back to reality? It is all about emotion.

2. Has the SP drop been fueled by shorting of the stock? Again emotion

3. Is there another reason that has caused institutional investors to switch gears from buying up only a short time ago to selling now? emotion

4. Is this simply manipluation by larger traders, for one reason or another? emotion, emotion, emotion...
