Video Reviews of Market Action - Those of you who enjoy Brian Shannon's work may have noticed that Blogger shut down his site as part of a review process concerning possible "spam blogs".

Understanding Volatility - The VIX and More site does contain valuable trading information regarding the VIX (the topic of my next post), but there is More indeed. Bill has been covering the topic of implied volatility, including sector-specific implied volatility. Using options markets to understand sentiment in the broad stock market is quite helpful, and there are some gems in this site.
Mentorship Blog - Ray Barros is one of the very few trading coaches/mentors who actively trades and follows markets--and who freely shares his perspectives on markets and trading. His Trading Success blog contains a number of worthwhile lessons, including this one on trading and new experiences.
