N noob_trad3r Oct 12, 2010 #4 Sad. I hope it goes back up. I remember the days of selling puts for 3-4 dollars, calls for 2-3 bucks and collecting fat premiums now those same puts only sell for like 1.20-1.50 Looks like the easy money watering hole is drying up.

lindq Oct 13, 2010 #5 Oh, VIX. I sure hope you didn't pack for a long trip away from us. Just remember the fun we had when we were both high, and rush on back up here, okay?

N Nofear777 Oct 13, 2010 #6 VXX will perpetualy go towards zero. It will need to be split over and over. Arbing kills guys like VXX, faz, fas, .. Sure you might see a rip here and there but long term, it doesnt matter what the market does really, VXX will always head lower.
