Just wanted to give everyone a "heads up" about SVXY.
I noticed I was getting some statistics that were worse than I expected for the recent DD at the beginning of the month.
After checking, I found that an Omniscan I used included SVXY (Proshares Short VIX Short-term) - and it had an extreme move down from $120 on 2/1/18 to $12 just 3 days later. A 90% loss...

If you're using it in a list, you may want to keep an eye out for the outsized effect it may have on your statistics.
Hope nobody had a large long position in it, too...
