New York Times Takes Aim At The Volatility Trade And Trading Crowd
Hi Seth, I am glad I found your valuable insights (after reading the NYT article) on trading short vol. I have a very similar approach (taking advantage of spikes in the VIX) and found your strategy underpinning mine. Shorting the $UVXY has made me quite some money (in fact it was the biggest money maker in my portfolio).

Thanks! Will follow you here and on Twitter.
