Had a friend suggest it to me a couple months ago.. Looks like it has done really well recently. Sadly I didn't listen to his advice
Asked him about it a couple weeks ago and he said he'd sold his, so he missed this recent climb.

It's done for now. The real money was made with VIX futures last night. A nice run on VIX equity options today, and the VIX number, but the VIX settlement disconnect from the equity side about half way through today.
All in all, I'm glad I purchased insurance. It paid more than the economic value of whatever small paper loss I had today. Gave me some cash to go hunting with. And contrary to others on here, especially with my longer time frame, oil is looking very, very good right now.

I've always maintained very, very conservative equity investment philosophies. It isn't often when portfolio insurance breaks even, and that isn't the strategy for insuring gains in any event. Or insurance in general, notwithstanding the comments on here about cheapest is always best. But I digress.
Not being able to time the top of VIX, I sold to close yesterday at a strike of $26.00, which paid for my last two years of insurance, and gave me a bit of cash.
It's been a tough year. I went through this morning and I'm up unrealized gains of 14.45%, but realized gains, which is really the only number that counts in slightly above 12%. The only reason 12% is at 12%, is insurance. Period. If I backed out net cost and gain, I'd be level for the YTD.
This is my after tax account. Obviously the retirement account I have at my business, managed by "experts", hasn't fared as well. Partially my fault as I went in to sme income funds likely too early.
In any event, I stand by nw looking for capitulation, mostly in the oil sector, but am open to ideas in other areas.
The technical guys can't seem to determine a technical bottom, so Monday should prove interesting.
Having an extremely well balanced portfolio, my hope is we drop another 25% at e least. I'm trying to get my head around how much VIX I could collect, and a decent point to sell about 25-40% of my etla at that point.
