VXX: Time To Take Profits
iPath® Series B S&P 500® VIX Short-Term Futures™ ETN from Barclays is up 26% since mid-February but is not a buy-and-hold; it's for hedging and speculation. VXX's gains are driven by front-month VIX futures, which spike during market volatility but historically revert, leading to potential losses. Significant put buying signals an interim market bottom, suggesting VXX will likely lose its recent gains as volatility normalizes.

Overview
The ETN provides a unique financial product designed for investors looking to gain exposure to volatility. It is structured around futures contracts on the VIX index, which is known as the CBOE Volatility Index®. The VIX index itself measures the market's expectation of 30-day volatility based on options prices of the S&P 500 index. It's important to note that the ETN doesn't offer direct exposure to the VIX index or its spot level. Instead, it focuses on futures contracts of specified maturities related to the VIX, aiming to track the performance of these contracts.
Products and Services
- Exposure to VIX Futures Contracts
This product offers investors a pathway to gain exposure to the futures market of the VIX index without having to directly engage in the complexities of futures trading. Through the purchase of the ETN, investors can potentially benefit from the movements in the prices of VIX futures contracts of specific maturities.

By focusing on specific maturities, investors can tailor their exposure based on their volatility outlook and investment horizon, whether they are looking for short-term opportunities or have a longer-term view on market volatility.
