The stock market just finished a difficult week. The S&P 500 index fell 2.2%, Dow Jones Industrials lost 2.8%, and the tech-heavy NASDAQ Composite market barometer dropped 2.3% lower.

But some tech stocks took this negative trend to extremes.

Solar power specialist SunEdison (SUNEQ) fell 17% from one weekend to the next as analysts made a battleground out of the stock. Printer maker Lexmark International (LXK) took a 26% steel bath thanks to a rotten earnings report. Regional telecom Frontier Communications (FTR) lost 12% as the entire telecom sector took a long, slow dive.
