I am up 4% more than S&P for same time period. Ok but not great...but on any given great day or week your numbers spike and you can claim you are doing better.

With a mix of SPXL and XIV I've managed to get more than 2x the return of the S&P since last May (41% vs 18%). Was mostly flat before moving to this strategy.

That's good. I have had a lot of different ideas in RH and am still ahead but I lost a lot of the year bogged down in some underwater stocks. Finally sold once I turned positive.

It is only cr if you know what you're doing. Otherwise enjoy losing your money.

Oversimplifying a bit: The VIX is an *estimate* of S&P500 volatility. This estimate is almost always (80%+ of the time) higher than what actual volatility is. It's usually a 10-20% difference. XIV essentially lets you make money off of this difference.

Would recommend buying it only after it dips 25%+ and not in the middle of some sort of economic downturn.

Long term price dips are meaningless because of the decay...has it ever dipped 25% in like a day?

I saw a 3x leveraged brazil etf drop like 48% in a day but that was the biggest drop i've seen i think
