    Reason why one can't buy and hold volatility?

    I guess it's like the carrying charges of holding commodity futures when there is no strong near term demand or supply restriction. Simply holding distant contracts in those instances would lose money when the future prices drop to the current cash price. I imagine is somewhat similar to...

    I see selloff will accelerate

    How much richer or poorer are you since you started trading?

    Poorer. Taboo? Nobody knows anyone personally here, so who cares. Trading options and futures (including currency futures): -99%. Remaining 1% left not enough for any position. Not as bad in stocks. How lose? Excessive forecasting and not respecting the trend, emotional trading, too much...

    Real Estate boom of 2013
