On my drive home from work today I was musing generally about buying low and selling high. But the only thing I can think of that is low right now is the VIX.
Anybody ever trade VIX options, futures, or ETFs and have any experience to share?
I could dress it up and call it a hedge with the S&P seeming so stable at these high prices, but really it would be speculation -- I would only be placing a tiny side bet that volatility will increase at some point.
Terrible idea?
