[TimAlerts] VIX - Wow, getting clobbered on a Fed decision day

[TimAlerts] Careful long it leaks, doesn't mirror the VIX as well as it should....bigger losses and smaller gains when compared to vix, trust me I leared the heard way

[TimAlerts] VIX is moving up at the same time @SPY is going up, Hmmmm well that's ass backwards, big move might be coming in the market one way or another

[TimAlerts] If VIX is up, it means opportunities are created !

[TimAlerts] is VIX a fear index the same as $TVIX ?

[TimAlerts] VIX splat

[TimAlerts] FYI, I just read a tweet that the VIX is now up 8 consecutive days, and it has never been up 9 consecutive days in 27 years.

[TimAlerts] $TVIX is an ETN, it follows VIX. I wouldn't suggest anyone trade it unless they are familiar with it. It's not Tim's strat. The main takeaway is to watch what $QQQ, $DIA, $SPY do if nothing is spiking as they can have an effect. RUT as well.

[TimAlerts] VIX*

[TimAlerts] Guys, the $TVIX is a 2X leveraged Exchange Traded Note that tracks the movement in the VIX or volatility index (the fear index), not the market. http://sixfigureinvesting.com/2015/10/how-does-tvix-work/
