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

[risk on]

Me, been buying, even though the cycle of the chart always spells down after a pop, which I played , there is an underlying angst in the form of Ukraine. Russia will end up going in IMO. Markets seem to be immune to the situation until they aren't. If there is a slow creep by Russia then markets will not react as viscerally . However, they will react. If Ukraine keeps advancing into rebel held territory , PUTIN will react. He has put himself in a position of having to invade if the rebels fail.

The other fail safe for VXX right now is the ominous chart pattern to that of 2007 - 2008. Market crash and Russia, those are the VXX drivers right now.
