See what happened on Wednesday with Apple's stock. With no good cause it looks like various parties started to try and short it. You can see the initial result from 12pm->1pm, the 'quick buck' 1pm-1:30pm rise, then the start of some more shorting at which point you can see the pattern emerge where the automatic trading algorithms started doing their thing. Definitely too volatile.
