Each time I buy something new, or take a loss in a short my thought process is this is the move that finally the market will observe and then reverse. I have been saying that for 3 weeks now however, and have been wrong each time. So here is another in the litany.
I am closing the horrendous iPath S&P 500 VIX (VXX) position; normally I keep my losses contained but I let this one reach 17%. There is no worry in the market, absolute complacency so the VIX is falling, and this instrument does awful in that environment.
