Why is Vixy up 2.8% and Vix u 5.8%????
I know its not exact but the VIX outperformed today by 2x over Vixy? Doesbt that defeat the purpose?
Sentiment: Strong Buy

Fee's Bee's, no matter how you look at it this market is leverged beyond explanation. VIX will start to rise today into next week. We should have some new updates on pain of Spain. Europe's been quite for a while, thats soon to change. China getting better? Ya right, just check out a great indicator Bindu (China's Google) down 25% and 14.7% down just this month.

It's amazing how fast borrowed money gets spent. I hope its before MAY!!!

I think you need to do some research. For starters, read the name of the ETF.
And be real careful, especially with the leveraged VIX ETF's.Sentiment: Buy

Do you think they leverage to protect capital? Yaaa right? Have you ever tried to audit one of these funds. Its almost impossible, unless you are a CPA. I am long, and still buying on dips. VIXY is near 5 year low. Since the majority of the purchases appear to be borrowed money they will change there strips closer to May. I believe we will have a correction before than, but the real nightmare will be closer to May for longs in Market. The commodities market is a launch code also to try to figure out. It would be much easier if they just told us the truth and quite writting paper for raw goods...Good Luck!!!
