Hey TCG, nice to see you again. Did you ever find a place to settle on the water? Can't remember where you were looking.
Speaking of VIX, kinda, UVXY would have been a pretty decent short back at the market's lows in 2020. It's either dead, or taking one heck of a multi-year, base-building nap off its decline from $1,350 to $2. If it ever wakes up again . . . 🙂
