The VIX is not a stock. It's an indicator. It will always go down. The same way RSI will always revert to 45. The over time average is that VIX will revert to 0, and that's why shorting it on pumps is free money.

Short it. Take huge profits. Wait for it to pump again. Short it. Take profits. Etc etc.
