Summary

*first, an update on the VIX, weekly

--

The TVIX/UVXY holders had plenty of warning last week, with TWO black-fail daily candles. The two stocks are lower by around 45% since the highs... and it is another reminder of just how dynamic these instruments can be.
-

Best guess... VIX to floor in the 15/14s next week... before another major equity wave lower.

If VIX explodes into the 40s.. then TVIX/UVXY will increase in value by a factor of 3-4 times.

As ever though, such instruments are for short term trading only, not least because of the inherent 'statistical decay' problem.
