The Week in VIX and Volatility Posts
I have seen more excellent posts and articles on the VIX and volatility in various corners of the internet this week than I can recall seeing in any previous week. There were so many nuggets that I probably overlooked several of them, but off the top of my head, here are a few volatility links that I feel are among the best of the bunch:
