According to the news I read, Martha put a delayed sell order in that would cause her shares to be sold if the price dropped below $60 a share. The order was said to be put in on Dec 10th. This is a common practice for stocks that have jumped in price and the floor is moves up as the stock price increases. She had some really bad luck that it activated the day before the news broke.
