As for TVIX/UVXY, they look set to weaken for another 2-3 weeks. That will probably equate to another 15/20% lower, not least as they are also prone to the issue of statistical decay.

*I am seeking to be long VIX from mid March onward.. and all the way into May/June.

VIX 40/50s looks due in the next equity wave lower... and if so.. TVIX/UVXY will have risen by at least 4-5x.. from whatever level they are trading in mid March.
