ETNs outstanding 50,, The "intraday indicative value" meant to approximate the value of the ETNs during the current trading day by reference to the underlying index is calculated and published during the course of each trading day. The intraday indicative value is intended to provide investors with an approximation of the effect that intraday changes in the level of the underlying index would have on the closing indicative value of the ETNs.
The intraday indicative value only reflects the accrued investor fee and other applicable costs at the close of business on the preceding day, but does not include any adjustment for the investor fee or applicable costs accruing during the course of the current day. For more information on how the intraday indicative value is calculated, please see the section "Valuation of the ETNs" in the prospectus relating to the ETNs.
The intraday indicative value is provided for reference purposes only. It is not intended as a price or quotation, or as an offer or solicitation for the purchase, sale, redemption or termination of the ETNs, nor does it reflect hedging or transaction costs, credit considerations, market liquidity, or bid-offer spreads.
Published index levels from the sponsors of the indices underlying the ETNs may occasionally be subject to delay or postponement. Any such delays or postponements will affect the level of the index and therefore the intraday indicative value of the ETNs. The basics Before going any further, note that the VXX is not an exchange-traded fund -- a stock-like fund that often tracks a stock index.
Rather, it's an exchange-traded note -- a debt instrument. It's only as safe as its issuer, and taxes are due on any interest or coupon payments it makes to shareholders. Whereas ETFs will generally have annual, taxable distributions of dividends and capital gains, ETNs will generally not realize a capital gain or loss until the shareholder sells the security.
This allows investors to defer taxation and enjoy lower long-term rates. What's so bad about it? Investing in the VXX can make you money over a short time frame if there's some market-moving event such as a major rate adjustment by the Federal Reserve or a government shutdown. But you have to be right about the near-term direction of the market, which is hard to do consistently. If you buy into the VXX and then forget about it, you can end up with a nasty surprise.
It's not meant to be a long-term investment. Because it's based on short-term VIX futures, it has to keep adding the latest futures, and often each one is a bit pricier than the last.
This means there tends to be an ongoing cost and therefore a negative return. NEW YORK Reuters - The big uptick in stock market gyrations this year has made a surprise winner out of a trade that has rarely delivered a win - buying and holding volatility.
Stock market ructions over the last decade have been few and fleeting, requiring great feats of timing to generate profits from volatility buying. Frequent bursts of market gyrations have kept things lively in the volatility space and has made betting on enduring turmoil hugely profitable.
SPX is getting crushed to a degree not seen since the financial crisis a decade ago - the index is down 19 percent in the last three months - a trader who took a flyer on volatility early this year could be pocketing a profit of 70 percent or more.
Since volatility usually rises when stocks fall, owning volatility is a form of insurance and just like any other insurance there is a cost attached to it. The markets will retest the 50 day moving average. Fed will probably kick the can down the road and not raise interest rates, but the foreplay of discussing it will rattle the markets. Reply Replies 4. Great to offset the around the corner correction. Any comments on the markets year end close?
Some years it seems the markets rise at the end of the year so the money managers look good then other years the market will drop at the end of the year so the money manager will look good next year.
I'm in today for the Powell Party! I find it comical that people will buy and hold the VXX because it drops to a lower price. Considering there is no advantage to this since it is designed to deteriorate in value to begin with and will go up only on volatility. Anyone agree?
