One Security to Save us All - iPath S&P 500 VIX ST Futures (NYSE: VXX)

In anticipation of market turmoil and volatility, I sought a security to survive the storm. The iPath S&P 500 VIX ST Futures (NYSE: VXX) is just what the doctor ordered to hedge portfolios against a downturn now. On occasion, it can also serve the most morbid of investors to enjoy capital appreciation while most investments are being slaughtered. This appears to be just such an occasion, as I see risk of a 10% or greater market correction heightened from here through October. See the full report on the one security to save us all
