Google "dead cat bounce." You usually (always?) have that after a big sellout. Part of it is that in general is a better strategy to sell parts of your portfolio that have done well to buy parts that have not if you have a balanced portfolio otherwise it will not stay balanced, and when a stock plunges its decreased price attracts a lot of these almost automated buys. Part of it is speculation on that one stock -- people/funds think it will weather X and buy because the price is good.

There's also a really good argument that a 33% drop in stock price is an overreaction to the news that something like 15% of their business is going away in the next five years, but gently caress private prisons, who would ever buy stock in that?
