I bought VIX calls, not puts
Well, I have to apologize for confusing you further when I tried to clarify. I wrote in the most recent post:
We’re not going to be in these VIX options for more than a few weeks at most, so I expect the ETFs to track the VIX rather well in that time frame anyway in the end so assuming you aren’t buying some obscure VIX-vehicle, there’s not too much difference as to which VIX-related vehicle you buy puts in.
See the italics I added there around “puts”? I meant to type calls there. The paragraph should read, as you’ll see if you look in the positions and see I’m “long VIX” not “short VIX”, that I’m long VIX calls. So the sentence should have read:
“We’re not going to be in these VIX options for more than a few weeks at most, so I expect the ETFs to track the VIX rather well in that time frame anyway in the end so assuming you aren’t buying some obscure VIX-vehicle, there’s not too much difference as to which VIX-related vehicle you buy calls in.”
I fixed it on the site. Sorry for the confusion.
