iPath S&P 500 VIX Short-Term Futures ETN (VXX)

[risk on]

Bounced out of puts yesterday, missed the high, but oh well, better than holding Til today. Wow, have not seen VXX act this way in quite a while, usually it's a one and done, and that should of been over a while back . There is something really underneath the surface creating angst and puts on the S and P , and although unseen it seems like a bear doing it, in more than one sense of the word, as in a Russian bear. I figured Putin would back off after the downing of the airliner, but it seems trying to figure Putin is a fools game. The NATO has been right on almost every count of this crisis so far, and now they say a Russian invasion is " very likely" , I think that's worth grabbing some calls, as I did today.
