> Small investors can only buy on bad news and long where applicable (i.e good company). Bad news and poor technical performance even if for a period is guaranteed almost to be driven down by HFT. And sometimes HFT over does it (maybe on purpose to let the suckers flood back in). I.e. Apple going to 430, Netflix to mid 50s after similar shorts/run ups and battle of machines.
I think Apple's a weird case. They had a "down" quarter, which caused the tech analysts to go all crazy and claim that Apple's a sell. So that caused people to sell, which drove down the price, and dropping below 500 probably triggered a lot of people's stop loss strategies, which drove down the price even more...
