Missling's purchases mean one thing: Good news coming. Just like last time. It means nothing more or less.
SLB chart, updated EOD 20Sep2017, ~5% SLB drop.
The SLB rate dropped from 19.13% to 14.72% at 1:10 PM.
This drop may indicate significant part of volume today or recently was buying-to-close and may have dropped long-term short positions below some threshold in the IB interest rate algorithm.
Also, I will be out of town next week with my brother and I will get on a sailboat for the first time. The trip may interfere with my ability to make these posts.
If I forget to post an update, note the volume traded since my last update. SLB cannot change dramatically without large trading volume.
SLB stands for Stock Loan Borrow, and is a fee rate that indicates current demand for shorting vs the known available supply.
This SLB fee rate data is from Interactive Brokers, the most comprehensive source available.
Every share legally sold short must be backed by a borrowed share, and the account that is shorting pays interest on the borrowed share.
This fee rate is annualized, and applies every day including non-trading days, until a share is bought-to-close the short share.
The higher the fee rate, the greater the demand for shorting; The lower the fee rate, the lower the demand for shorting.
As long as the SLB fee rate does not go over 125% in a short period of time, a Short & Distort attack is probably not imminent, although normal shorting should be expected whenever a consensus forms that a peak in price-per-share has been reached.
SLB has no ability to predict price manipulation by high-freqency trading (HFT) or similar techniques.
For weeks dating back to NASDAQ uplisting, see copies of this chart posted in May2017.
The last candlestick is only for the part of the week that has transpired so far.
Green candle = closing price higher than open; Red candle = closing price lower than open.
The Golden Cross and Death Cross use the most common formula which uses 200 & 50-day simple moving averages.
Option volume and options Open Interest is included. Buying long Puts or selling short Calls can act as a substitute for short-selling.
The top of this SLB graph is actually clipped, the top line is about 120%, and twice it went way above that (once in this chart).
The bottom of this SLB graph is about 10%.

As long as the SLB fee rate does not go over 125% in a short period of time, a Short & Distort attack is probably not imminent, although normal shorting should be expected whenever a consensus forms that a peak in price-per-share has been reached.
SLB has no ability to predict price manipulation by high-freqency trading (HFT) or similar techniques.

By "no significant change" I am referring specifically to estimating the chance of a Short & Distort attack by evaluating the SLB rate. As long as the SLB rate does not rapidly rise to well over 100%, I think the chance is close to zero, regardless of how far below 100% SLB is, so for my purpose, there is no practical difference between 20% and 50%.
I certainly don't mind seeing the slow decline getting to less than 18% today, but in my report I want to emphasize the rapid rise and extremely high rate expected as part of a planned criminal effort to massively short and then issue preplanned negative press.
I am trying to avoid issues like when the rate rises again from 20% to 50% over a month and some people incorrectly thinking that's a bad sign, because it's not, it's just a natural consequence of a rising share price, a relatively small float, and traders trying to guess at short-term tops.
Best wishes!

SLB stands for Stock Loan Borrow, and is a fee rate that indicates current demand for shorting vs the known available supply.
This SLB fee rate data is from Interactive Brokers, the most comprehensive source available.
Every share legally sold short must be backed by a borrowed share, and the account that is shorting pays interest on the borrowed share.
This fee rate is annualized, and applies every day including non-trading days, until a share is bought-to-close the short share.
The higher the fee rate, the greater the demand for shorting; The lower the fee rate, the lower the demand for shorting.

"sudden 1 minute sell of 117.8K"
The size represents a significant amount of money.
The speed indicates one of two things:
1. Despite having a lot of wealth, the seller does not have much sophistication and ignorantly used a market order.
2. Driving down the share price was the purpose.
bennyboy1, I have been long on AVXL for years. I think my first purchase was in 2011, and I still have those shares and added many to them.
I no longer have as good an ability as I used to in discerning meaning in what people write. For example, I can't discern sarcasm anymore, and I am not good at "reading between the lines."
I can't tell from what you wrote if you think I am a naysayer or not, but I assure you I am very positive and optimistic regarding AVXL. Like you, I also believe in Anavex more than ever before, and I am on your side.
I post daily SLB charts because I find them reassuring that we are not likely to be hit soon by another painful and criminal Short & Distort attack, and some others here have written that they like seeing this information also.
Best wishes!

Anavex had a prior management team that was making progress in preclinical trials and in preparing for clinical trials. They seemed competent in every way but one: They ran out of money.
Tom Skarpelos, a co-founder and the largest shareholder, took over and started working on new funding. He hired Dr. Missling. Dr. Missling, backed by Skarpelos, has made sure we have not run out of money again, and are continuing to make progress in clinical trials.
I am satisfied and confident.
Excellent analysis. I agree that this signal means the same as in the past: Very good news is coming.
The news after his first signals was the first public results of Anavex 2-73 ever being used on Alzheimer's patients, and the huge news was that A-273 works! Ever since then, the questions have been exactly how well does it work, and what subgroups of patients does it work best on.
