    TROUBLES Spread ''volatility'' ; ...Investors need to keep in mind that these ETFs are designed to track CBOE Volatility Index futures contracts, not the VIX spot price. It’s a very important difference.

    Volatility products are designed to “roll” the contracts over periodically to maintain exposure to VIX futures. They can lose money on this trade when longer-dated contracts are more expensive than the front-month contract, or when markets are said to be in “contango.”
