On a typical trading day, I read or skim posts from about 300 different blogs using the feeds from Google Reader. After being out of the loop for two weeks, I spent a good portion of today getting caught up on what I missed.
Some of the links that gave me a good deal to ponder with respect to the VIX, volatility, options, market sentiment, and ETFs include:

- TradeMonster’s Friendly Options Play (Theresa Carey, Investor Brain)
- A Look at Declining Volume on Five Prior Market Tops (Corey Rosenblum, Afraid to Trade)
- Monday VIXology (Bob Barnes, bzbtrader)
