Should You Trade the VIX?

Welcome to Episode #168 of the Zacks Market Edge Podcast.

Every week, host and Zacks stock strategist, Tracey Ryniec, will be joined by guests to discuss the hottest investing topics in stocks, bonds and ETFs and how it impacts your life.

In this episode, Tracey is joined by Zacks Senior Strategist Kevin Cook to talk about a topic that hasn’t yet been covered on the Market Edge Podcast: the VIX.

Should you trade the VIX?

The VIX was created by the CBOE (NYSE:CBOE) as a volatility index. It’s also known as the “fear index.”

In 2015, Kevin did an excellent video talking about what the VIX is and how it operates which has gotten over 15,000 views.

Tune in here for his excellent analysis about the difficulties in trading the VIX.

He gives more insight on this podcast, including a discussion of some of the VIX ETF products.

How to Get Exposure to Volatility

If you’re not going to trade the VIX, you can still get exposure to volatility by trading individual stocks.

Several areas have been hot, and volatile, in 2019 including the payment stocks like Square (NYSE:SQ) and the software stocks such as Salesforce (NYSE:CRM) , Adobe (NASDAQ:ADBE) and Workday (NASDAQ:WDAY) .

What about the semiconductors? Has their day passed?
