Why do some shares jump down sharply?

Some people voice that bad investment during depressing times organize to terrible stock jump down. Is it true? Other than investments, what other factors determine a stock's life-size fall?


Answers:    FEAR.

When a stock go down sharply - It is because people are anxious and there is a MASSIVE amount of selling going on.

For every salesperson there is a buyer, so when a stock is dropping sharply, and populace are panicking, the solitary people that will buy will buy at MUCH lower prices.

At these times, near is literally very little constraint to buy the stock, and the 'fear' is taking over. Usually, because people dread that a stock/company's earnings are going to be much worse than anticipated (this is usually because of doesn`t matter what news is hitting the market..).
People selling there stocks cause it to drop in helpfulness. As the previous answerer said, fear is one example. But also at hand are people who buy profoundly of the stock while it was low. Then they email associates or tell them to buy the stock, that it is going to achieve them rich. So people buy the stock up, cause the value to rise greatly, after the guy who bought it low dumps it making a huge profit, called the pump and dump development.
