VIX - Time to buy?

With S&P500 at such a ridiculous central bank induced price, I think the VIX is a great buy and hold from these levels. You never sell it underwater. You just wait for it to pop.


And it will pop.


What do you all think?

I would buy too. Or wait for another top at S&P500 and get long on VIX ..

The VIX might be going through a regime change. I think everyone should check this out.

Good read. Thanks

If this goes to 2005-2007 levels it would be so interesting to see

A repeat of that scenario seems likely, however, a repeat of the 2007-2008 great recession won't occur any time soon as central banks embark on the largest equity bubble ever. I think equities should be a part of everyone's portfolio, period.

What do you buy as a proxy for VIX? An ETF/ETN like VXX? They lose value very quickly (and even in sideways markets) due to contango so unless you time it just right you will lose money over time.

It will occur but don't bet on it just yet.

Yeah so I bought VXX at $22.05... its up at $25.56 now

Today was pretty damn volatile... (EURJPY anyone?)




Now the only question is how long to hold this thing.

When it pops 3-5 fold you easily make back the decay. But yes decent timing is helpful.

Yeah its pretty bad, EURJPY yesterday was like... wtf? almost 700 pips in less than 24 hours.


I'm buying this dip. Long EU from 3045

It will probably fall again though. The next dip will give a better bounce I think.


Before EURUSD even hit 3500 I called for 3700 to 3850 and then a retest of 3000.

Too bad I didn't trade it, LMAO!


How are your trades??

Yeah my view was to go more than 1,37 maybe reach 1,40. I wanted to sell at 1,40
I thought that people were more excited. Didn't gauge the emotion very well on that one. And Draghi talked it down.. so no chance.
Then I bough low, and didnt close before italy elections, i was sleeping xD lol so i lost money on this moves.. its okay though. My logic was right, I was just sleeping so I could not take action


Now im long on euro too, long term. 1,3050 .. and see what will happen, I want to see people calm down.. I think i need to see S&P going up for 2 days again before this panicks goes off.

yeah for Forex mostly day trading. Stock trades are mostly buy and hold for months at a time.


Should have taken my 25% profit (at 27.50 vxx) and re entered after it dipped to 23.

But I'm hoping for around 30 then I'll take the quick gain and run.

@Rag2RichesFX

Look at this forex play.
Italy doesnt have govermnent and no one knows what is going to happen next.

a) Italy 10 year bond yield is 4% (it went up to 5% in day of election)
b) 7% is when OMT will be activited and all Draghi talk wont be talk anymore.
c) Will FANG(finland germany) countries be againts OMT on Italy without a govermnent to apply any reforms?

The more the time without govermnent -> more uncertain -> rising yield -> OMT activation ->
if c is true
-> more euro area uncertain (contagious) -> VIX explode up.
if c is percived false
-> VIX down.

So things to watch:

edit: its still a long term play anyway.
"You're solid gold, see you in hell"
Typically anytime there is a strong dollar rally, the VIX pops

Everything is more or less tied to the dollar.

If EU goes bad, US dollar goes up, all stocks go down, and the VIX pops


Another reason to hold VIX atm is U.S. Fiscal Cliff once again
