John Cappello 'math post'?

I am referring to what is written below by John Cappello. I'm assuming he
expected it would be taken seriously. I'm trying to do that. I'm not trying
to make trouble. Just that I take research into the markets and trading
seriously, mainly because I make my living from it.

My question is: 

My close associates excluded, is there another mathematician, computer
expert, or someone on this list technically capable of gleaning anything at
all related to trading the S&P 500 from the following post by John
Cappello.... in which he claims to be ..... "giving us the math"? 

I thought I would make one more attempt to see if this is genuine
technically, or something else entirely.  I have studied the markets,
traded, studied this post and the others related to it, repeatedly. I'm
'trying to believe' it is serious, but seem to come up short. No offense
intended. Perhaps (likely) my brain is just not on the same planet. 

Does ANYONE else have the same problem as me after looking at this 'math'? 

If not, can anyone explain how and why the math he 'gave' us all really
might be founded in some logic and be the basis for something useful related
to trading the S&P 500? And how that might be?

Has anyone else here been able to 'get' anything out of this post by John? I
have my own suspicians but I'm not a mathematician, even though I
studied the math of finance and statistics. 

Believe me, all I'm trying to do is find any truth here, if that's possible. 
 
regards and thanks for anyone's thoughts or help.
