Summary

*first, an update on the VIX, which saw a net weekly decline of -4.0%

--
Suffice to add... with equities strong, and the VIX crushed, the leveraged VIX instruments are continuing to decay.

The VIX-long trade looks dead (at least) into September.

--
*it is very surprising that TVIX - run by Credit Suisse, has not yet seen a reverse split, as UVXY recently did. Considering TVIX is now trading around $1, a 1 for 10 reverse split looks due to be announced.

UPDATE, Aug'7th.

As of the open of Aug'9th, TVIX will see a 1 for 25 reverse split.
