then sure, you could short the VIX, but the VIX is the Fear Factor and even though the market is propped up by the powers that be and is "Controlled" by computer software you could profit because when you control something like numbers, statistics, media, markets, news, banks, healthcare, water, farms - you can make it say or do anything you want so yes it's possible you could profit by doing so.....
My friend this is my view only what the market is doing right now is irrelevant as the master plan is being carried out and what lies ahead for america is not a pretty picture, if we are able to let's revisit this post in 6 months to a year and we can reevaluate this scenario again as I hope we are able to.
The "End Game" has begun and there are many, many factors that are different than the last time in 2008 that I've along with many others have pointed but more importantly our nation is on a path now that's "Irreversible." But that's just an opinion, it kind of reminds me of a quote by someone back when >
