Post-Employment Report Links
As is usually the case here, in these links I give preference to material that focuses on the VIX and volatility, options, market sentiment, and ETFs.
That being said, three areas that I will likely give more weight to going forward are behavioral economics, risk management and psychology. The expanding focus is largely because I believe the opportunity for improvement in these subjects is so much greater for most traders than it is in enhancing existing quantitative skill sets and the like.
