The stock market can be very orderly
Watching Facebook lose it's daily $5 billion of market cap, it is an ongoing amazement how "everyone" can know a stock is crap yet it doesn't just plummet.
In every single one of these down-tick transaction there is somebody buying. There are enough buyers to match buyers to sellers without the price going into free-fall.
It grinds down, day by day. "At $27.75 Facebook is crap, but at $27.25 I gotta get me some of that... even though we all think it will be even lower tomorrow."
Fascinating process.
