SVIX: Make Volatility Great Again (Rating Upgrade)
Trump's tariff policies have moved volatility higher, making -1x Short VIX Futures ETF, an inverse VIX ETF, a strategic short-term buy as volatility is expected to normalize. SVIX gains value when VIX futures decline; recent market turmoil is due to tariff uncertainties, not fundamental economic issues. The economy remains stable; high VIX levels are not recession-driven, suggesting a potential decrease in volatility as market clarity improves.

SVIX: Trump Policies Increasing Market Volatility (Downgrade To Hold)
The SVIX ETF is currently rated a hold due to an unfavorable market environment for shorting volatility, as the VIX curve is too flat. The Federal Reserve is hamstrung by high inflation and may not be as supportive of asset prices. Most importantly, President Trump's erratic policies are injecting volatility and risk into the financial markets.

SVIX: All Quiet On The Western Front
SVIX is an ETF that inversely tracks VIX futures; it gains value when VIX drops and loses value when VIX spikes. -1x Short VIX Futures ETF should be actively traded, not held long term, due to its significant volatility and potential for large drawdowns, as seen in August 2024. Current VIX levels are low, suggesting potential for increased volatility; thus, SVIX is a 'Sell' now and a 'Buy' when VIX exceeds 20.

SVIX: Time To Short The VIX
Election-induced volatility may be peaking, making the SVIX ETF a buy as volatility is expected to decline post-election, benefiting from a return to contango. The SVIX ETF is designed to avoid past pitfalls, such as the XIV's Volmageddon, by rebalancing during market hours and holding OTM call options. Comparing SVIX and UVXY, SVIX offers capped losses, but shorting UVXY can be profitable with proper trade sizing despite higher risks.

SVIX: Blood On The Streets, Time To Buy
SVIX is down over 50% from the top due to extreme volatility, while SVXY and SVOL offer less aggressive exposure to VIX futures. SVIX has implemented VIX calls as a hedge, protecting the fund from significant losses as the VIX surges. Buying SVIX now presents a probabilistically sound opportunity with limited downside and potential for gains as volatility is at historic highs.

SVIX: Take Profits Ahead Of Rising Political Risks
SVIX ETF has returned 86% in the past year, outperforming the S&P 500. Rising political uncertainty heading into the November elections may lead to increased volatility and tail risks, impacting short-volatility strategies. Furthermore, as former President Trump's election odds rise, investors may have to price in his policies, which could lead to higher inflation, larger deficits, and trade wars.

SVIX: I Actually Like It Now
Short VIX Futures ETF has made changes to its strategy, making it more appealing to risk-averse investors, so I am changing my view from last year. The fund now employs hedges against a possible jump in VIX, reducing the risk of a blow-up like in 2018 and 2020. SVIX has outperformed the S&P 500, returning 46% in the last 6 months and 190% since the summer of 2022.
