    So TVIX is based on the price of a par variance swap that you can estimate using a kernel smoother on option implied volatilities. Do you have any idea what that means? Any clue at all? How many of those words can you identify? And yet you decided that you were going to trade this stock. What word would you use to decsribe someone who does something like that?
