I am adding a 2nd tranche to iPath S&P 500 VIX (VXX) as complacency is extreme. To the original 2% exposure I added another 1.35%.
While this is a long position in the portfolio, it's considered short for my purposes as its a hedge.
I am adding (lightly) to TNA and BGU shorts as well... but modestly until 1116 is broken soundly.
Long iPath S&P 500 VIX in fund, short TNA.BGU; no personal position
