Thanks to All

Thank you to all who weighed in on my mother’s passing. It is comforting to know that people who I have never met, who live on several continents, and who pray in many different languages all have my family in their thoughts.

A special mention for Trading Goddess: keep those postcards coming and let your heart be your guide.

It may just be a coincidence, but it seems as if whenever family matters pull me away from the blog, the VIX, like an unsupervised child, starts acting up. It started on my birthday, February 27^th, and has carried over to this week. Since I have been largely tuned out of the markets for most of the recent action, this seems like a good time to highlight the work of some of my favorite bloggers who have been talking up the VIX in the last day or two:

• The DK Report: Bulls (Finally) Bounce Back
• Daily Options Report: VIX Up Is Smoke?
• The Slope of Hope: Lying in Wait
• At These Levels: Orchestra Hits a Bad Chord
• Macro Man: Curiouser and Curiouser
• The Kingsland Report: A Victory for the Bulls??
• Ticker Sense: Same Old VIX
• BZB Trader: Got the Bollinger Band Reversal We Were Expecting...
  

I will probably be back posting on a regular basis again next week. In the meantime, be sure to hug someone special and let them know you much you love them.
