The Ultra VIX was trading at 16.32 at 2:11pm and in the after hours market its trading at 29.67 as of 5:05. The 16.50 Feb09' call was up 772.09% at close.

Futures are what you need to watch before the bell is open. Futures on the dow have it down 300 points tomorrow already and the market closed just an hour ago.

Gold is up about 8% this year. If gold starts to go hyperbolic we are in for a correction as big money is rotating out of stocks.

Looks like the XIV is gonna get liquidated. Any VIX move up 80% can trigger that. This is gonna be a massive scandal if it happens.

What is going to happen to the crypto ETFs?

No stomach for that at this point lol.

I dont mess with cryptos so Im not the person to ask. I assume Bitcoin and Ripple are still crashing?

The game in the crypto arena is to invest not in the individual crypto technologies but the mining companies. They'll have the technology to compete as the technology evolves.

Actually an international banking crisis could accelerate cryptos development if a lack of confidence exists in it. We are a long way off from that point at the moment.

Yea, I know some people that are big investors in blockchain tech. I just havent researched enough to be confident in any trades or investments.
