I have had several requests to revive last year’s practice of periodically publishing links to some of my favorite recent posts from other blogs.
With the caveat that I have not been rigorous about bookmarking all of my favorites, here are some recent posts that I think may have some archival significance well beyond the day they were posted:
- Felix Salmon has convincing proof that an astonishing number of investors trade first and think later (if at all)
- Babak at Trader’s Narrative examines the IBES Valuation model, which shows stocks are extremely undervalued, and offers two interesting hypotheses
- Eddy Elfenbein of Crossing Wall Street show how it is easier to make money while sleeping than while trading
- Michael Shedlock of Mish’s Global Economic Trend Analysis lays out his thinking for how to invest for inflation and deflation
- Maoxian (who I just got around to adding to my blogroll) has one of the best 2007 sector performance graphics, covering 30 sectors
- Eddy Elfenbein of Crossing Wall Street has the 2007 sector performance of the ten S&P industry groups in one illuminating graph
- Brett Steenbarger of TraderFeed has an interesting look on market performance following down days
- Ian Woodward offers a retrospective play-by-play account of the Bernanke speech and the market’s reaction
- Eddy Elfenbein (hat trick!) also has a great graphic comparing SPX performance by VIX level
- Barry Ritholtz of The Big Picture captured another excellent volatility graphic for the DJIA, NASDAQ and Shanghai Composite, this time from the New York Times
- Nadeem Walayat of The Market Oracle drills down on the impact of sovereign wealth funds and the implications for investors
- Did you know that iVolatility.com has a blog? Their most recent entry talks about trading VIX call ratio backspreads
- Just four days after publishing a list of my top 25 most read posts from my first year of blogging, The Fallacy of the Bearish First Five Days has rocketed into the top five most read list in less than 72 hours and seems destined to top that list soon
- Finally, Charles Kirk of The Kirk Report recently posted a thought provoking assessment of his excellent blog and the challenges of weaving trading and blogging together in a balanced life portfolio
Bill, thank you for the links.... very interesting and informative.
ReplyDeleteLess informative, but possibly as interesting to some of your readers, is this "VIX"-related webpage:

Awww, no slope? I'm crushed!
ReplyDeleteHey Bill,
ReplyDeleteSince i consider you the chart master is their a way you can keep a chart of the vix futures going 3-6 months out (from your futuressource link) and also overlay the actual VIX. Could be informative.
Oh, the guy with the picture above me; I think I have seen him on the arm of A.J.C. recently. Her Boy Toy??
ReplyDelete:-)
She's got a boy toy, but it's not me. I don't have 2 C batteries.
ReplyDeleteRegarding the VIX futures 3-6 months out, I'll try to periodically get a chart up that compares the cash VIX to those futures. Keep in mind that the VXV is the equivalent of the 93 day VIX.
ReplyDeleteI confess that I have no idea who A.J.C. is...
Thanks for the mention, Bill. The hard-working men and women at CSFB put together that graphic; I simply stole it. :)
