Dow 300+ point up moves only happen in bear markets so Monday's move really just confirmed one IMO.

Then I heard that 400+ moves have only happened 3 or 4 times and the market quickly filled the gap, means SPX 110.88 is going to be filled quickly IMO and then the market may attempt another rally.

As far as options expiry goes I would agree with you on must quarterly expirations. It does seem that March and Sep expirations are better suited. The fact that that is equinox times may well be a factor. Not so much monthly or even June.

Note that the new moon was April 14, and part of my timing to exit long term holdings, and so was May 14, and new moons are typically tops and to a lesser degree full moons are lows. You can get inversions at times.

I exited major long term holdings on the new moon in July 2007.

Yes its crazy, but although never the only consideration, when it comes down to fine tuning, it counts for something.
