As for TVIX and UVXY, this sort of chop is never good in terms of the decay issue, although volatility itself is low...so the decay is somewhat less.

If VIX 17/18 next week, both TVIX and UVXY should climb 15/20%. Of course, for those holding since early February, that amount of gain is not going to make up for the cumulative losses.
