Short the Vix Short

CBOE Volatility IndexCBOE

Description

Shorted the Vix. Bought Mar 19 PUTS at $11 for .10. You can get those really cheap right now and have a 5 month time frame, should work out well when the vix pulls back. If the vix spikes up again, I will be picking up more.

Comment

This comes off our previously successful trade where we made out really well -

Comment

For anyone taking this trade, keep in mind this will takes months, but the rewards are good. It will most likely do something like this, not just straight down.

@SGTSOB, I do it directly. VIX options. My comment above is the trade i did, March 19' PUTS at $11 for a 10 cent price

@SGTSOB, There are also ETF's like VXX and UVXY. But I prefer the options directly.
