VIX vs CBOE Volatility Index (VIX) Futures /XV

I follow both of these on the same chart and was wondering if you or anyone else, felt one is more important than the other?

I trade VIX ETN which at times is a real wild ride.

Thanks

Don

If anyone doesn't know the pit falls of VXX - they should read this, as the report gives a decent overview of the basic reasons behind the movements of VXX. One of the major short term distortions is dealing with the VIX index futures performance vs. the actual index (at any moment in time).

The mystery of the VIX

Is the VIX manipulated by SPX traders buying and selling Puts and Calls to protect their investment and giving a false impression of market sentiment?
