TVIX vs. ETF Alternatives
TVIX Description
The VelocityShares Daily 2x VIX Short-Term ETNs (the “ETNs”) are senior, unsecured obligations of Credit Suisse AG (“Credit Suisse”) acting through its Nassau branch. The return on the ETNs is linked to twice (2x) the daily performance of the S&P 500 VIX Short-Term Futures™ Index ER less the investor fee. The ETNs provide traders with an exchange traded instrument enabling them to efficiently express their market views on the short-term futures contracts on the CBOE SPX Volatility Index® (the “VIX®”). The ETNs do not guarantee any return of principal at maturity and do not pay any interest during their term.

- Tuesday, May 21, 3:34 PM Major hedge funds have suddenly turned bullish, reportedly buying massive amounts of OTC call options on the S&P 500 (SPY). The purchases have been large enough to send the VIX (VXX) higher even as stocks continue to gain. An important milestone - the implied volatility of S&P calls is now greater than that of puts, a true rarity since 2007. 19 Comments
- Wednesday, May 15, 3:47 PM The VIX (VXX +0.6%) - typically moving the opposite direction of stock prices - has been more correlated to equities this year than any other time since 1996, according to Kaitlyn Kiernan, with today (if it holds) being the 23rd instance YTD in which both have moved in the same direction. That translates into 25% of the trading sessions (for all 1996, it was 29%). 3 Comments
- Monday, April 8, 3:05 PM At least one indicator is showing the largest bearish positioning since March 2010 as the ratio of call to put bets on the VIX (VXX) rises to its highest since then. Among the 10 most-owned VIX options, 9 have larger bets on volatility gains, with April $20 calls - 44% out of the money right now - garnering the largest open interest. 16 Comments
- Thursday, March 28, 1:14 PM The "vol tourists" are piling into the Inverse VIX Short-Term ETN (XIV), says Chris Cole, not really understanding it, but liking the price action (up) and believing the "Fed will always have their back." The "tourists" may get burned at some point, but for the moment, the XIV is providing another way for those betting on turbulence to lose money - demand to borrow the shares is soaring. 9 Comments
- Tuesday, March 26, 11:02 AM Some people just enjoy pain. More than $520M has poured into leveraged-volatility ETPs (UVXY, TVIX) in Q1 even as their value continues to decline. The un-levered tracker of the VIX (VXX) has drawn in $620M. Bets on the leveraged products are bets on a crisis emerging ... quickly. "When bad things don't happen and you lose your premium," says a market maker, "most people don't complain." 16 Comments
- Thursday, March 14, 12:48 PM The VIX is low, but it's not at an all-time low. Small cap volatility, however, hits what looks like a record low with the Russell 2000 (IWM, IJR) VIX declining to 13.97, says Stifel's Dave Lutz. For the year, the IWM is up 12%, outpacing the SPY by more than 200 basis points. Comment!
- Monday, March 11, 12:57 PM The CBOE Volatility Index today dropped below 12 for the first time since 2007 and against a long-term average of 20.4. Contrary to what contrarians believe, writes Mark Hulbert, low VIX levels are not necessarily bearish. Thinking about VIX as what it is - a measure of expected volatility - rather than as a "fear gauge" might help do away with this misperception. VXX -2.2%. 18 Comments
- Thursday, February 28, 9:28 AM Daily ETF flows show a lot of action in the SPDR Retail ETF (XRT), which added 8.6% to AUM amid a lot of news and movement in the sector yesterday. The VXX - which saw a big run-up in price and interest over the past week - saw assets flee (-15.6%) as stocks rebounded and volatility dropped. 1 Comment

Tuesday, February 26, 5:51 PM
After-hours top gainers, as of 5:15 p.m.: GWRE +9%. BGFV +8%. UVXY +5%. ZAGG +5%. TVIX +4%.
After-hours top losers: FSLR -10%. AH -10%. MERU -9%. QCOR -6%. SPWR -5%. 3 Comments [On the Move] - Monday, February 25, 4:13 PM More on the VIX (previous): Up 26.3% minutes ago, the index ended 35% higher - extreme is an understatement. This cool graph from credit markets shows today's move to be about the 3rd or 4th largest going all the way back to 2005. VXX +13.7% in the regular session, +1.5% AH. 12 Comments
- Monday, February 25, 3:50 PM The VIX is up 26.3% on the session, the biggest one-day rise since Nov. 9, 2011, says Bill Luby. The S&P 500 (SPY) lost 6% over the following two weeks, adds ukarlewitz. VXX +13.3%. 1 Comment
- Thursday, February 21, 12:58 PM The VIX (VXX +4.2%) stretches its 2-day gain to 53%. Do the sharpest drops (in stocks) happen in bull markets? This would be the 12th time since 1991 the VIX has spiked more than 25% in 2 days with the S&P above both its 50 and 200-day moving averages, says Jerry Khachoyan. 3 Comments
- Wednesday, February 20, 3:35 PM As stocks undergo their first real selloff of the year, the universally-scorned VIX (VXX +8.3%) heads for its biggest one-day gain since November 2011 (h/t Bill Luby). So much for "fear fatigue." 3 Comments
- Tuesday, February 19, 8:02 AM "I think we're seeing fear fatigue," says money manager Darell Krasnoff. Clients of his out of stocks for some time are calling and asking to get back in. It's the same story at Fidelity and Schwab (SCHW), both seeing marked increases in trading activity. The Vix (VXX)? It declines even on days when the markets sell off. 29 Comments
- Wednesday, February 6, 2:20 PM Eric Mindich made a bet on the return of volatility (or just hedged his longs) in Q4 with Eton Park's latest 13F showing a 1.35M share position in the VXX. All other positions, including big holdings of Apple, Citigroup, Dollar General, and News Corp. - among others - remain the same as the previous quarter. 5 Comments
- Thursday, January 24, 11:15 AM A volatility bull (and sort of stock market bear) throws in the towel, with MKM's Jim Strugger warming up to the "new reality of a lower volatility regime and its implications." A new era of fundamental analysis without fear of the macro environment is upon us, he says. Three weeks ago (and for the last several years), he sang a different tune. 12 Comments
