TVIX, daily



UVXY, daily



Summary

*first, an update on the VIX, which saw a net weekly decline of -11.3%



-
So.. moderate net weekly declines for the 2x VIX instruments.

It is notable that TVIX saw an intra (Tuesday) high of $14.10, and having settled the week at $10.72
-

*As ever... such leveraged instruments are (almost always) for very short term holds only. Holding across multiple weeks - never mind months, will see inevitable statistical decay problems.

-
*I hold long-VIX across the weekend, seeking renewed upside to the 27/28s
