UVIX: Fear Fades

  • 2x Long VIX Futures ETF is a risky, short-term trading vehicle that decays over time due to contango and leverage-induced negative compounding. Geopolitical events like the Israel-Iran conflict can cause short-term spikes in UVIX, but these gains typically fade quickly. Given the short-lived nature of volatility spikes and its design, I rate UVIX a Sell and advise against chasing recent gains.
