Mixed economic data and worries about earnings and terror threats helped send the Nasdaq down 1.3% Thursday.
Coldwater Creek gapped down 1.44 to 18.97 as volume swelled to more than six times its usual level.
Late Wednesday, the women's clothing retailer said it expects April-ending quarter earnings of 9 cents to 10 cents a share and sales of between $180 million and $185 million. First Call's consensus estimate had predicted a profit of 13 cents a share on sales of $198.1 million.
Coldwater also forecast fiscal 2006 earnings of 56 cents to 60 cents a share, including items. Analysts expected 47 cents.
WebSideStory tumbled 3.11 to 17.29 on extremely heavy trade, slicing its 200-day moving average but finishing above that key trend line.
The move came after the Web site analytics provider beat the consensus estimate by a penny with fourth-quarter earnings of 15 cents a share, excluding items. Its sales totaled $11.7 million, short of the $12.2 million analysts expected.
