Anyone trading the VIX?

Quote from Eliot Hosewater:

I forgot to warn everyone. Since I closed the long Sep, expect the VIX to rise - i.e. markets will tank.

I told ya so. Sep 22.50 call is up about a buck from when I sold.
 
Quote from Eliot Hosewater:

Got out today for +$30 - $6 commissions.

What do I win?

Nice save. You'd be down $80 today before commissions and even more later this week and next week as the Aug vbi converges to cash.

Thanks. The VIX cooled a bit Monday morning, so I took the profit, small as it was. I see it's over 30 now.
