Summary

First, an update on the VIX, which saw a net weekly decline of -1.2%

--
As for TVIX and UVXY... it was a fifth consecutive net weekly decline, as equities remained broadly strong, with a VIX reflecting a confident capital market.

As ever... due to the inherent statistical decay problem, holding such leveraged instruments across multiple weeks rarely works out well.

*UVXY saw a reverse split this past Monday... TVIX will no doubt follow.. although I'm unaware of any scheduled date.
