- QUESTION FROM SHELTON: I\u2019m sitting on some decent profits in my vxx jan puts (thx to you guys). My query is what do I do now? I\u2019m tempted to sell them out because I\u2019m up over 2X on the position. But my gut says there is more downside to come. However, I know from listening to you guys that an upside blip can happen between now and then which will wipe out all of my gains. What about some fairly cheap Dec or Jan OTM calls as a hedge? Put some of my gains back to work as a way to hedge the position?
