You have to be pretty nimble to make money on this kind of thing. You have to be right and you have to be right in a very short period of time. Even though you can be right over time, if you are not right over consecutive days, you still might not win on the strategy. If you are expecting volatility, you can sell Calls, buy Puts, put on a Futures Contract, or just Sell and lighten up instead.

COMMENT

The VIX is a very difficult measure to predict. It is extremely volatile. The VIX historically in Sept/Oct tends to move up about 15% over those 2 months. Going into Nov/Dec, the VIX tends to fall by about that same amount. He would probably tend to Short this through Nov/Dec. His suspicion is that markets will calm down and this should come off a bit.

PAST TOP PICK
(A Top Pick May 18/12. Down 31.86%.) This is one he has been in and out of. This is really a hedge against the unknown.
TOP PICK
2 reasons you might want to hold this. If you believe the market will be volatile over the next month or two, the VIX (Chicago Board Options Exchange Market Volatility Index) helps offset the rest of the stocks you might hold because it profits by volatility. Chart shows a perfect little neck line break. He sold his holdings this morning as the market may be a little oversold and this a little overbought. There will possibly be a little pullback and he will probably Buy it back again in the next week or so.
