re: Trading volatility VIX

I don't know why you buy TVIX, but I buy VIX long calls for insurance at a percentage I find acceptable for my portfolio. It's not an exact science, but I think I have it to where anything over a 25% correction is covered. I sell to close at that point, take the cash and start bargain hunting. At least that's what I've done in the past.
After 2008, most of my entry into the financials were financed by proceeds from VIX calls.
I'm sure I'm a net loser, but I'm buying insurance, so I don't look at it that way.
I don't really trade VIX futures, VIX index options, or any of the exotic ETF's/ETN's. You really need to be watching all day long on that stuff.
