(A Top Pick June 13/13. Down 0.28%.) This works off the Vectors Index. It mirrors the S&P 500 and also has the development of a VIX built into it. The more that volatility picks up, the more this one lags into the VIX. This is one where you want to be in the market but you are afraid of something killing the market off. It is a downside risk protection.
