Summary
Keep Me Logged InTraders may be a bit too relaxed about the risks facing the stocks market heading into the end of the year, and that could come back to burn them.Speculator short bets on Cboe Volatility Index futures contracts hit a record high last week, data compiled by the Commodity Futures Trading Commission shows. It bounced back to trade near 13.This short positioning in VIX futures came as U.S. stocks hit all-time highs.Typically, when markets are at a record high, traders tend to load up on VIX calls to bet on a pullback.
