NEW & DEPROVED SENTIMENT TABLE:

Still working on the matrix transfer, but the data is updated. 
One of my DITM blog readers kindly shared a DITM-style website, for those interested:
tknight@fullyinformed.com
Additionally, the Gabelli ETF - GDV- also does a nice job, with a 3+% mgmt fee. I also listed 2 trades I did today, ex-dividend tomorrow.
Sentiment Indicators pretty much backed off, despite the ugly Thanksgiving week; except for the reliable McClellan Oscillator at negatve 98 - a huge BUY signal that proved true today. Although the Inv.Intell. numbers seem stale (from the week before), the AAII inverted, with more Bears again; and the Insider Selling dropped precipitously last week.

INTRADE WE TRUST:

The great Irish betting website -Intrade.com has the odds of the Stupercommittee doing its job at 8% today.
As you can see below, Google's googling of my Indicator matrix has created some problems, resulting in my printing the Excel sheet itself, with a couple more stats.

NOW WE'RE GETTING NOWHERE:

The closing price of the S&P 500 on Dec.31 of 2010 was 1,257 - as of this morning, the SPX is again: 1,257, despite a volatile year. Something like 88 trading days have seen triple-digit swings YTD. Dividends anyone?
The last time the AAII Bull/Bear ratio was spread this wide (the Bears 20 points below the Bulls) was July 15 week. A week later the DJIA dropped 2,000 points. Two other favorite indicators of mine - the McClellan Oscillator and CBOE Equity put/call ratio - are also getting toppy; as is the Bullish %.
Tom McClellan has kindly offered to share with us (in the upcoming TSAA Review)  the correlation he showed on Bloomberg last week of the Euro$ Commitment of Traders vs. the SPX - offset 1 full year. His prediction is a bar bell UP for the first and last part of 2012 and sideways during the summer months.
Here  are the Sentiment numbers:

HALLOWE'EN "FREQ" SHOW:

High Frequency Traders (HFTs) have caused the highest correlation among stocks and sectors in decades, negating much of both Fundamental and Technical Analysis. This was shown in the October rally where shorts were dashing to cover everything pinned on the edgy European situation.  Sentiment still has predictive value, especially my favorite ones: McClellan Oscillator, Bullish %, and CBOE put/call ratio - all divining the rally.
This week extremes include the put/call ratio , high, at 76 (Bullish), but the Bullish % and Insider Selling also high (Bearish). Here are the numbers:
