Q: I'm trying to buy some volatility very similar to VIX index...If you look at VXX vs VIX there is no correlational..VXX goes straight down YTD ($40 to$15)while VIX bounces around...I need a direct corelation in terms of percentage moves...is there something out there?

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

Q: What is your opinion on using call options on the VIX Short Term Futures ETN (VXX:US) as a hedge against a market decline? I see the VIX index up over 7% today, but the VXX is down slightly. I have noticed this several times. What is the explanation for this divergence and how should it be interpreted?
