Thats a lot of incentive to talk down and down and down

When you put in a juicy amount, the lower you can get them magnifies the gain unbelievably.
This explains the fervent behaviour to squeeze out the weak

At some point stocks reach the lowest of course.

When you already have the bad news all thats left is good news.
