Lots of drawbacks to it, but there does not seem to be a great way to play the VIX, and I really wanted to have a little skin in the game on my hunch. Seems like the smarter play is to SHORT the VIX when volatility is really high -- the other end of the range from now.
Interesting play. Do you have a planned time limit, given that it's a declining instrument?
