I recently talked about the secret I wish everybody knew when it comes to market timing and discussed one of the most valuable Total Wealth tools of all - the Put/Call Ratio.

If you've been with me for a while, you already know I don't like social media stocks. They're not hooked into our unstoppable trends (nope, not even Technology). Their products are "nice to have" instead of "need to have." And most of them have no real way to make money.

Twitter (NYSE: TWTR) stock is trading 158% higher than its $26 IPO price - but that bull run could be over after today's earnings.
After market close, TWTR will report its first-ever earnings as a publicly traded company. Wall Street forecasts Twitter will lose $0.02 per share on $217.8 million in sales in its Q4 2014 report. Full-year estimates call for an earnings per share (EPS) loss of $0.19 on revenue of $639.39 million.
