So when the market dumps this time we're all gonna buy the dip by going all in ZIVB right? The the new ETF that shorts mid-term VIX futures. It works by spreading itself over the 4th-7th VIX futures months with a weighted average constant maturity of 153 days. Much less risky than SVIX or SVXY and since mid-term VIX futures are in contango more often than the front months you will be more likely to make money at any given time. VIX futures are a way of buying and selling future uncertainty and the future is almost always more uncertain than the present. So if you're selling uncertainty high and buying uncertainty low then the math inexorably works in your favor. It's the perfect trade. Just wait for the VIX term structure to go into backwardation then go all in. When VIX goes back into steep contango, get out and wait for the next opportunity. You'll get a big trade every few weeks like clockwork. I hope you guys don't pass this one up
