    I'm an independent investor. I make my living from the returns on my investments. I work at home, in the northern part of the San Francisco Bay area. I spent most of my career as an executive in high-tech, although I also spent time in banking. Down to one kid in university now!

Volatility

August 23rd, 2006 by reality

The recent rally brought the Volatility Index (VIX) down to a low of 11.6. It had been as high as 24 in June. It seems to me that there is a good shot that volatility will go higher in the fall, so I bought some calls on the VIX. Basically I couldn’t stand sitting through this rally without doing something, so I’ll probably regret this.

    My model is forecasting a decline till Tuesday’s close, so I think you’ll do OK.
