Honestly shorting volatility has been a great move since 2009 but by the time volatility was near record lows below 10, I think sensible people should have covered. Also xiv was always a shit instrument and there were much better ways to make that play.

I started reading the XIV articles you were RTing and thinking, "Who...who would want to be in this?" It's the kind of thing Taleb wrote Black Swan about. Thank you for confirming my instinct.

Shorting volatility isn't always bad. There are definitely good times to do something like this.
