Bought in when Berman on BNN suggested it as a sumer play against the go away in May drop. In at 18.56 and again at 15.84. holding now till late summer. Thanks for the tip Mr. B. glta

Just decided to look at the chart for VXX today, after it was mentioned on a mailout from TradingMarkets.com. Anyway, I see that the chart is on a downwards trend right now.  Need to do some research into how exactly this stock works, and what its fundementals consist of.  Anyone care to give me a quick overview - or point me to a post/site that covers this?  Thanks.   Sky

Hello skydiver I have no good explanation as to how the nuts and bolts of this etn works but it is designed to replicate the results of the VIX on the S&P 500 ,https://www.investopedia.com/terms/v/vix.asp/#axzz20o3QiBE2 Click on the link provided and it will give a breif explanation of the vix. If you believe that the european crisis is unmanagableand will come to a breaking point in the next

Is it better to own VXX on the TSX or the NYSE? Or does it not make a difference? When they both increase or decrease do they go up and down relitively the same percentages? Or can I make more from the VXX NYSE?
