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
