Below are the results of our weekly "Guess the Dow" sentiment survey.
The survey was taken from 8/11 thru 8/17 on our web site. If you would
like to participate in this weeks survey/contest, stop by
<http://www.lowrisk.com/guess.htm> .

30 day outlook:

41% bullish,  32% last week
32% bearish,  34% last week
28% neutral,  34% last week

(percentages may not sum to 100 due to rounding)

Average guess for the DJIA closing value on Friday, 8/22: 7827   (it
was 8091 last week). More complete sentiment data is available at
<http://www.lowrisk.com/sentiment.htm> .

This week's numbers took a rather surprising bullish turn this week.
With the dramatic selloff last week, we would expect some more
bearishness. These sentiment numbers suggest that our Guess the Dow
participants think that this downdraft will be short lived. We find
this complacency somewhat unsettling.

We now have three sponsors for our contest this week. Weekly winners
will now receive a two month subscription to the Early Bird Club at
the Short Term Stock Selector AND a one year subscription to The Blue
Star List AND a one year subscription to Jack's Picks.
