1987 & now 2020; I survived both!; SVA close 1½ dimes Mr. House Positions:
Yes, a dreadful day!
SVA's pharmaceutical style close at 15 cents on 375k (51k Germany; 1k USA) after trading down to 14 cents can be considered to be almost bullish when one looks at the carnage in the general markets. Today's debacle was a history making worst just like the crash in 1987 and I have experienced both. Some have all "the experience".
Today's action can drive one to enjoy a martini (or beer, or glass of wine, or...), or two... cheers,
I didn't like that Anonymous sold 305k of the 375k total traded.
There were a large number of odd lot signals for this 15 cent stock. See the last ten trades below as an indicator. Manipulation is alive and well with SVA.
