Q: Markets at Record Highs . Corrections happen. Is it wise to hold a portion of your portfolio 10 % in investments like HUV or VXX that go up when the market falls. These react with the VIX moving up. RAK

Q: Hi Peter,
I have a portfolio of CND stocks, AT, EGLX,ERO,WELL,KRR.XBC, and a portfolio of US listed stocks, DCBO,CRWD,FUBO,MITK,LSPD,PINS,KL. I am comfortable with my holdings and dont plan to sell in the short term. Based on the context of my portfolio, should I decide to hedge my portfolio by buying HUV:CA, as rule of thumb, what % of my portfolio would you think would be adequate to hedge without having to highly dilute my overall returns. I hope I am making sense with the question I am asking.
Your assistance is much appreciated.
Thanks,

Q: Hi guys

Most ETFs I kind of understand what they are using to mimic an index, and to create the holding. With this ETF trading off the VIX wondering how they do this? What do you think of this as a short term holding. It just seems the VIX should have much more noise, given Trump, uncertainy, and trade issues, yet you wouldnt know it. Your thoughts?

Thanks
Stuart

Q: I would like to purchase some protection against market volatility but am unsure of the best way to do this. VXX and HUV are a play on the futures but if I am correct there is a time/price decay involved in the price as well. Is there another way to to protect against market volatility other than holding cash? Thanks
