Last Thursday, this stock had a big up day. One of the many reasons I bought into that rally was that volume was extremely heavy -- in fact, it was an all-time record for this stock.

By the same token, what worries me about today's selling is also the volume. Today, the stock is off sharply, and volume is on track to match Thursday's record! I find that alarming. I expect to see profit-taking after a big jump in price, but, in the normal, healthy, case, volume on the profit-taking days will be relatively light.

Also, in the final hour today, the stock was trading below my stop-loss price of $20.80.
