LABOR PAINS:

Despite last Friday's huge selloff, the weekly sentiment numbers actually moderated off their worse levels from the weeks before; however, as of this Labor Day, futures are looking grim behind Europe's increasing debt problems, with the DJIA futures at the triple zero 11,000, down 240. The recent rally, per Barron's Trader, was on OTC type stocks, not a great sign of institutional longterm investing.
This continues to be a great buying opportunity of quality, dividend-paying stocks - at least until (for me) the S&P500 breaks and stays below 1100 (it is now 1173, heading lower). That is 2010 Support.
Major changes in the Sentiment Indicators were a big upmove in the Bullish %, and the AAII Bull/Bear REverting itself from inverted recently - a sign of complacency from last Tuesday's release.
