China SXT Pharmaceuticals, Inc.
I love to see this when the shorts get run over- it serves them right. It looks like the short portfolio manager got hooked selling stock under $5.00 and is now trying to get them back. This is no fun (and I have seen the boss run out of his/her office on previous occasions) when the upper limits of risk get blown out and bells start going off. That said, it can be super fun when you are on the right side. This reaming happened today around 10:30 ET and it looks like whomever shit the bed on the PM side has been removed, and the boss is covering or has covered the mistake.
Welcome to the world of risk and trading, short sellers have unlimited upside loss potential, and I hope they take the runt outback of the shed and explain he should look for a job driving Uber.

Shorting Chinese stocks is a risky proposition in 2019 and lessons learned will come with some pain. Like an old trader friend said to me, “There is no education in the second kick of the mule”.
