VXX: Time To Take Profits
iPath® Series B S&P 500® VIX Short-Term Futures™ ETN from Barclays is up 26% since mid-February but is not a buy-and-hold; it's for hedging and speculation. VXX's gains are driven by front-month VIX futures, which spike during market volatility but historically revert, leading to potential losses. Significant put buying signals an interim market bottom, suggesting VXX will likely lose its recent gains as volatility normalizes.

Market Volatility Ahead? These 3 ETFs Stand Out
Volatility is an essential but dangerous component of investment. On the one hand, the capacity for the price of a security to swing back and forth around a mean provides investors with opportunities to profit using strategic buys or sells of that security.

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.
