It is down because S&P keeps going up. It's down more than 8x inverse to S&P because we are in deep contango of 6.27%. Until S&P goes down and contango retreats, this thing falls violently.
I am currently long HVU and am experiencing the same pain you and others holding are. I think HVU goes up soon however until it reverses it will move down violently as S&P keeps surprising and going even higher on Fed enthusiasm. That's the nature of a falling knife.
My own 2 trading rules are this: 1) Only trade things you deeply understand. 2) Only risk money you can afford to lose entirely.
You obviously shouldnt be trading a inverse vix then. Your advise is confusing and not entirely correct. Correct me if im wrong here. The chances of the VIX reaching zero is almost as close to a free fararri being delivered to my door. But since the VIX is based off of options |Calls and Puts| your trying to tell me that the US investors dont care about hedging there bets in the S and P 500.
Is this what you are saying? Because if so you should get out of the market ASAP
