San Diego

Before I fly out on United's Ebola Gay to San Diego here is the week's Sentiment update a/o Friday midday:
Although the usual signal from the McClellan Oscillator did not work on Monday, it did kick in after the minus 50 (53) signal from Thursday - hence Friday's upsurge. The Bull / Bear surveys remained the same - the I I comes out on Tuesdays and the AAII on Wednesdays. Many n/as from the week in progress; individual insider selling remains strangely constant, with the Sector figures doubling - 25: to 52:1 sellers over buyers.
Finally the August numbers came in for margin debt (actually reported last week) just below record highs at 463B; ETF totals all rose to new highs - equity, Int'l and Bonds - despite Gross's departure.
Here are the numbers:
