Yes, SVU is by no means a sure thing. The short position is truly enormous. Ordinarily, such positions imply that there is a significant risk of bankruptcy. I suspect this is one but not the dominant reason with SVU, and it may partially reflect pair trades of long-short hedge funds that are long the strong companies in the space, like Whole Foods, and short weak companies like SVU.
