I dont understand the vix has gone up nearly 30% from lows yet this etf which is meant to be 2.25 x that hardly moves??

Covid headlines from China will be a driver this week IMO. Do they close down again if infections get out of hand or allow hospitals to overflow. I've heard them use the flue analogy, but with the speed of Omicron it would be like all the winter flue cases arriving within a few weeks.

Held my nerve but probably still on a loss?

[wadget] 06/12/2022 16:49

Sadly out since taking a loss at 68 :(

[waterloo01] 06/12/2022 16:19

Anyone else aboard the vomit comet?

I don't think it's got back to 15 for a long time? 20 is the new 15...

[mister md] 02/12/2022 19:21

I prefer the 15-16 range, or is that just being greedy ? Can't understand that some were keen on this at Vix 30 as it rarely goes much higher than that.

[waterloo01] 02/12/2022 14:10

VIX close to 20 has to be a good bet. could hit 30 very quickly

[waterloo01] 02/12/2022 14:02

Ding dong, as the late Leslie Philips would have said

[waterloo01] 01/12/2022 10:33

equally: rates still going up, liquidity being withdrawn, inflation still at multi year highs, China still in covid measures and war still raging in Ukraine.

Reality isn't going to bite, we've had a year of headwinds now and it still seems bullish on indices, we've just had rotation of sectors.
China started to look to treat cv19 tge same as the rest of the world soon.
Inflation seems to have peaked
Rates slowing down

All bullish, still on for year end on a high imo

[waterloo01] 01/12/2022 10:03

If one knew the answer to that.....

[zcaprd7] 01/12/2022 09:59

What are we doing with this loss now then, hold on for reality to bite or dump?

[waterloo01] 28/11/2022 19:23

So many realities yet to sink in.

[zcaprd7] 28/11/2022 10:11

Nice move, gone for a little tickle, China looking very precarious now...

[waterloo01] 25/11/2022 16:41

Into the weekend with a 10% weighted holding. I guess some still believe in Santa.

[zcaprd7] 25/11/2022 09:08

Hmm, not if China shuts down... Yet again.

[d1nga] 24/11/2022 10:59

Fed's been behind the curve so far, don't see any changes, so cpi comes in lower than forecast, plus fed less hawkish and we're off to the races again 😎

End year on a high and everyone gets their Christmas bonus

[mister md] 24/11/2022 10:37

Fed rates decision then follows on 14 Dec

[d1nga] 24/11/2022 08:47

November cpi number due 13 December will be the catalyst for lift off imo.

[mick1909] 24/11/2022 08:25

Nice reply i think i will hold off the dacay rate on this etf is one of the worst if people are invested in this a hedge on the yields going down is 3GIL 50% from recent low can see the yields dropping further if fed starting to back off
