The Financial Times reports Fidelity Bans Retail Investors from Trading Short Volatility.
“We have blocked opening trades [in SVXY],” said a Fidelity spokesperson. “You can’t buy them but you can sell them if you own them and we have increased margin requirements on other volatility ETFs to protect customers on outsized risk in this market environment.”
Short volatility funds including ZIV are also barred. XIV closed its doors following massive investor losses.
Just as it finally makes some bit of sense to consider shorting volatility, the brokerages ban the practice.
Here’s the kicker. Fidelity will open volatility trading in the “foreseeable future provided the market co-operates.”
In other words, if volatility declines you can get back in.
What a hoot.

“Captain Renault: I’m shocked, shocked to find that gambling is going on in here! [a croupier hands Renault a pile of money]. Croupier: Your winnings, sir. Captain Renault: Oh, thank you very much.”
” Short sellers are the only class of speculators REQUIRED to buy stocks. Without that buying support, markets will fall faster.” Precisely
When I was holding a winning hand in double inverse BKS in 2008, Short selling was suspended in all banks shares for a month, and the ETF value went into hard reverse. I held on until the ban was lifted, and still made nearly $100K on the trade. History is repeating, and much closer to the top. Even with a better than 75% chance of predicting the direction of the market is of no advantage considering not knowing when and which rules will be changed. Given the sudden rule change so early in the bear market, short sellers will think twice about taking a position. Short sellers are the only class of speculators REQUIRED to buy stocks. Without that buying support, markets will fall faster.
Odd. I was actually thinking that now might be a good time to short volatility. I won’t, because I really don’t understand what I’m doing, and I really don’t have time to figure it out at the moment, but it’s much more of an interesting idea than a month ago.
But it’s for your own good, muppets.
