Long The Flu, Short Low End Restaurants

    I really like the looks of the RT chart, but it seems like the options on this thing are pretty thinly traded. Will you still use options with that little of volume?

    $1 to $13 (1200%) in 9 months and you think SVA has more room to go? You got to be kidding. Good luck on that one. Anyone who positions into biotech stocks is looking to get their account cut into pieces.

      See my comment in Henry Fool’s blog. SVA up on good news today. This is a vaccine company that is profitable and in a great market.
