    Tucker is having a nice spring.

    I’ve always thought he had huge bust potential. I’ve been high on Whitley but  that is changing. Click has some work to do on the pipeline.

    It must really suck to finally win a championship(non-Jordan aided), and nobody gives you any credit for it. Only you, Houston

    I’ve never understood the Jordan dIdnt play so it’s not a real championship argument. I guess we should put asterisks by some of the Celtics and Lakers championships because MJ was either to young or too old. If he’d had been in his prime, his team would have beat them.

    JFC.  Relax.  I’m legit happy he’s getting the respect he deserves.  You guys and your Houston vs The World shit.  Jesus 

    What do you expect?  You come into a thread for Rocket fans and talk shit and expect us to eat it?   Go talk all the smack you want in the general NBA thread.

    Things that piss me off:

    ^VIX (which you can't buy) is up 54% this morning.

    ^VIX3M (which you can't buy) is up 26%.

    VIXM (which I own) is up 2.76%.

     

    FUCK.  ME.

    1. VIX ETFs don't reflect the VIX index 
      By any measure, VIX futures indexes—and therefore VIX ETFs—do a lousy job emulating the VIX index. The VIX index is truly uninvestable, and over periods of a month or a year, the return pattern of VIX ETFs will differ radically from that of the VIX index.
    2. VIX ETFs tend to lose money—significant money—in the long run 
      VIX ETFs are at the mercy of the VIX futures curve, which they rely upon for their exposure. Because the typical state of the curve is upsloping (in contango), VIX ETFs see their positions decay over time. Decay in their exposure leaves them with less money to roll into the next futures contract when the current one expires. The process then repeats itself, leading to massive double-digit losses over the course of a typical year. These funds almost always lose money long term.
