COMMENT

S&P 500 VIX (Volatility Index) Short-Term. This is a means of protecting on the downside and if you feel the market will be reversing, it is a tool that could be used. He prefers using Shorts on equities or ETFs. You could also use Put Options as protection.

TOP PICK

S&P 500 VIX Short-Term. Buy the January 17 Calls. This is a trade on volatility and gives you a hedge on your portfolio if something unexpectedly comes out of the woodwork.

DON'T BUY

S&P 500 Volatility Index Short-Term. Related to fear and will trade on sentiment. Last little while there is a more positive sentiment in the market so this has under performed. This is a short-term, speculative type of investment.

TOP PICK

S&P 500 VIX Short Term. Buy @ current price and Sell a July $27 covered call. High risk because VIX is high risk.

BUY

Tracks the volatility index. When your ETF goes up 10% in a month, take profits. Wouldn’t trade it, he would use it as a hedge against his other holdings. It goes up when the market goes down.

COMMENT

S&P 500 VIX-ShortTerm ETF. Very volatile. He has used the 60 Inverse ETF (HIX-T)as a protection against short-term weakness. This is more of a trading vehicle on a short-term basis. Also a vehicle to look where risk is headed.

TOP PICK

S&P 500 Short Term Futures ETN (Exchange Traded Note). Trades like the volatility index (VIX). To diversify from risks associated with equities. Volatility is probably the best tool. Trades at 5X volatility of equities and moves inverse to equity most of the time. Use as a hedge with no more than 5% of a portfolio. On a correction this will go up and that's when you take profits.

COMMENT

VIX is based on future’s contract. It is a very complicated product. You are getting what traders think the volatility is 30 days out.
