Trade Alert - (XIV)- TAKE PROFITS

SELL the Velocity Shares Daily Inverse VIX Short Term ETN (XIV) at $21.87 or best

Closing Trade

1-12-2015

Portfolio weighting: decrease from 20% to 10%

Number of Shares = 459 shares

I am going to use the 5 ? point plunge in the Volatility Index (VIX) overnight to cut back my risk on our (XIV) position. Basically, I am getting you out at cost.

The goal here is to raise cash and go into the next volatility spike with plenty of dry power. The hard times are not over yet. The final low in the (SPY) has yet to come.

As this is a mathematical contract, the downside risk from here is very limited, as long as we don?t have a flash crash in the next couple of days.

I?m betting that sometime in my life, the Volatility Index (VIX) will trade back in the teens. In fact, I expect it to trade back to the mid teens within the next few weeks.

Once we get through the New Year?s rebalancing?s, volatility should settle down.

Here are the specific trades you need to execute this position:

Sell 459 shares at????.??$21.87

Profit: (459 shares X $.08) = $36.72, or .04% for the notional $100,000 model trading portfolio.
