Summary

*first, an update on the VIX

--
As for TVIX/UVXY, a rather powerful net weekly gain, but still well below the high from January 20th, when VIX 32s, and VIX was borderline 13s.

As ever, such instruments are for short term holds only, not least due to the endless problem of statistical decay.

If equities see renewed upside next week, breaking above the Monday high of sp'1947, TVIX will probably be in the low 8s again, if not the 7s.

--
*I am seeking to go long TVIX from the sp'1960/80 zone, with VIX 18/17s.

I realise, considering this weeks equity declines, that seems difficult.
