LOL; Well I don't know either, that's why I sold into it <G>
I closed USPIX monday on the close.
I accumulated XLF from Monday a little on each days low,
then yesterady when the VIX hit 28 I went in for the balance
of my cash, had she dipped today I would not have got shaken
out, not seeing that VIX yesterday I would have continued buying
more on margin, ( once I get the buy signal it can take a few days
but my hit average is so damm good with the DVI & VIX I just
keep trying to add to my position on the low of the day until
they pop.) In fact I was almost hoping it would give me a chance
to add more today, but that pop was so strong and the Vix fell so fast
with it, that heck I graped my profit and ran.
I'm back cash and in no hurry.

Well I held my PPT, but I don't trade it much once in it.
it's not ever a very exciting play but I can use it for margin and the
monthly dividend pays for my margin and then some, if by some odd chance she hits 7-3/8 my GTC sell will trigger.
