WOW. As of this date I am just about doubling the return on the SPY. What's incredible is that the two VIX related products have exploded (I hold all these short) and really pounded my returns. But the other ETFs I hold short have offset that the VXX. Possibly the increase in volatility has helped them, that's how I think it's supposed to work. This is supposed to be a six month strategy, so no change as of now.
Here is where I am:
