  1. the best thing about today's atrocious jobs report? Obama will be a one-termer. #MostIneffectualPresidentSinceWilliamHenryHarrison
  2. @AudreyPrincesa Attica! Attica!
  3. I'll buy back more SPY shares if we plunge on a weaker-than-expected jobs report
  4. feels like no one wants to be on the long side...probably means the market goes higher
  5. I'm using the disappointing PMI number to cover some SPY shorts
  6. the pessimism is so thick, you can cut it with a knife…looking to reduce my SPY short position
  7. the list of negative news is a mile long...as a result, almost everyone on Twitter is bearish
  8. both Cramer and Kudlow don't trust today's stock market rally? we must be near a low
  9. a reading over 0.75 suggests the market is near an intermediate-term bottom
  10. despite today's rally, the 21-day equity-only put/call ratio remains at 0.77 (usually not a good time to be bearish)
  11. @AudreyPrincesa don't know about that
  12. there were seven straight June losses from 2005 to 2011 and seven straight May losses from 1965 to 1971
  13. it has never recorded a loss for a particular month eight years in a row
  14. the Dow hasn't posted a gain for the month of June since 2004, but the streak is likely to end this year
  15. @AudreyPrincesa I hope so :)
  16. so, while the market is looking weak right now, chances are the S&P 500 will stage a significant rally before the year is over
  17. the average gain for those 17 years is 23.16%
  18. the S&P 500 has never ended the year with a loss when it's had a 4%+ gain in January (17 for 17 since 1951)
  19. I'll increase or decrease my $SPY short position depending on various technical and psychological indicators
  20. no matter how confident you are about your stocks, a portfolio must always be hedged to some extent…to protect my portfolio, I use the $SPY
