Massive Volume In VIX Fund, But Contango Persists [View article]
Thank you Bizfinder.
To be more accurate the fund can go up on certain days or weeks even if the volatility term structure is in contango (generally when the contango is narrowing), but its value ebbs away over time.
And yes, that's because backwardation is not the normal state for the volatility term structure -- and rarely lasts for very long.

I've noticed small differences in this (and other ETFs) as well that you'd think would be identical except for the expense ratio.
One issue could be that the expense ratios may have been different over time. Another is that while each fund "seeks" to track an index, the fund holdings are sometimes slightly different from one ETF to the next.

Not sure about intraday or day-to-day performance, but some portfolio/money managers may want to be locking in gains for the year (since that's how they're judged). For many of these managers, AAPL probably represents a large holding since it's up a lot this year. So if I were a portfolio manager and I wanted to lighten up, I'd look at AAPL too given that it's a very liquid stock.

Thanks for pointing that out, though.
