An addendum to yesterday's comments about going long so far
in 2017 when the last day of the month is a down day. Going Long
XIV at the end of Dec, Feb, April, June, and July for one day is up
15.48% YTD. The trade on the last day of June was a modest loser
for XIV. So far today the XIV is up slightly more than 1% on the
day.
Shorting UVXY in a NQ acct on those same five days
would have upped the return to more than a 30% gain YTD
