Make Volatility Great Again, Then Do Not Rely On Investing In VXX
VXX is not suitable for long-term holding due to high roll costs and poor performance; it's only viable for short-term hedging. Market complacency is high, but historical data suggests significant volatility spikes, making precise timing crucial for VXX investments. Current market conditions resemble past periods of high volatility, but diversified portfolios and gold are better hedges than VXX.

VXX: Sell Volatility Ahead Of The Election (Rating Downgrade)
The upcoming US election has caused a pause in the S&P 500's uptrend and elevated the VIX, reflecting market uncertainty. Historical patterns suggest implied volatility spikes pre-election but drops post-election, leading to my sell rating on VXX. VXX is a risky, high-cost ETN with significant contango, making it unsuitable for long-term holding.

VXX: Lighting Does Not Strike Twice
VXX is an exchange-traded note (ETN), not an ETF, meaning it's backed by Barclays and carries additional bankruptcy risk. The fund tracks short-term VIX futures, making it highly sensitive to volatility changes. VXX typically loses value over time due to the negative roll effect. The August 5, 2024 VIX spike was a rare event, unlikely to repeat soon.

UVXY And VXX: Time To Be Short Volatility
VXX and UVXY are long volatility ETPs using VIX futures for convex payoff in the event of a market crash. VIX is at 24 following a dramatic spike to 60. Both ETPs have had huge rallies, but the rally is expected to be short-lived. Long volatility funds like UVXY and VXX tend to bleed capital due to negative roll yield, making them terrible for long-term holding.
