There was a recent thread that I believe dealt with a big S&P put order being placed on I believe the morning of VIX futures expiration a couple days ago in order to hopefully cause the VIX opening price to increase and thus get a bigger payout on the VIX futures. Question - when this kind of...

I dunno, it just seems like a regular old fund or ETF or whatever. I don't think anyone can reliably predict where it might go without correctly guessing where the market might go. It will probably follow the U.S. equity markets relatively closely.

Heyas Spooz! I remember your sensational down call from another thread. How are you feeling about the market these days? I'd guess by your statement you are still bearish? Thanks!

Good times are here again it seems!

Errrrr, maybe not everybody..... :)
