If we get thrust into backwardation then obviously there is substantial downside risk for XIV - hence why I recommend laddering gradually into inverse positions (as I've explained before I'm only exposed by 5%).
If we DON'T reach true backwardation and slip back into contango, then here is your profit potential I laid out yesterday.
And Jay Wolberg is one of the few on seeking alpha I would listen to.
