Curious what instrument you were going to buy the VIX through? $VXX? $VXX was only up (coughing) 33% while the CBOE VIX was/is up nearly 100+ %.

- krrrh 9y agoI hadn't looked into all the options to be honest, VXX was on my radar. So was TVIX[1], but figuring out how to optimize decaying short-term bets like these felt like too much for a non-expert. I'm certain there are smarter and less risky ways to hedge a market that seems overbought.
