I think a bunch of people had a hair trigger sell button on Nvidia expecting a bubble pop, and panic sold the second they saw a headline. Not quite a bubble pop yet.

    What is a "hair trigger sell"?

    A hair trigger is something that takes little pressure to trigger. So a hair trigger sale is basically being ready to sell the second a controversy hits, since if you know you've got money in the bubble, you don't want to be one of the mooks holding the bag at the end.
