XIV is inverse instrument to track VIX. When VIX goes up
you want VXX or UVXY when vix goes down you want XIV,
SVXY. Currently I am long UVXY. VIX is testing its 200
dma once again. I have found that a close and hold above this
generally leads to larger spike in VIX so not a good time to by
XIV.
Would XIV be the equivalent
