Is it a good time to buy $VIX calls?
Not really.
As we said before, you can’t trade the $VIX directly. $VIX options are priced off $VIX futures, not the spot index.
Right now, $VIX is at 13.5.
February $VIX 16 calls cost ~$3.4, which means your breakeven at expiration is 19.4.
That implies:
•Required move: 19.4 − 13.5 = 5.9 points
•Percentage move: 5.9 / 13.5 ≈ 43.7%
So you need ~44% upside in the $VIX just to break even, not to make money.
Unless you’re expecting a sudden volatility shock, these calls are expensive carry and poor risk/reward.

Thanks to Trump and his Kremlin plan, these Russian monsters will go unpunished and will soon invade Western Europe as well.
This is, unsurprisingly, nonsensical. Is he suggesting eliminating health insurance and giving people a few thousand dollars instead? And then when they get a cancer diagnosis they just go bankrupt?
He is so unserious. That's why we are shut down and Americans know it.
