Long Term Buy and hold play - VIX

٣ مارس ٢٠١٨Da VIX trade. The VIX is known to be dangerous and you can lose a lot of money if you are trying to short it... This is one of those trades we are going to set and quite literally, forget about it. If you go back farther you will notice that the VIX never really breaks to the down side, it spikes up, and then comes back down and bases out. The thing here is this trade could take months to play out. However, volatility is coming back to the markets in a grand way this year with Trump rampaging about tariffs, yields climbing higher, etc... It should start proving to be more volatile

I will be looking to buy just above $12 and place some sells in the $45 range to try and catch one of these spikes. This could take months to play out, so set it and forget it!
