How does it work?
Everyone is entitled for one vote, the index is calculated by:
the percentage of bulls - percentage of bears
(Please vote even if you are neutral because it will change the overall percentage scores).

Historical Data

Time Frame, First Timer Index, General Index
Q1 2014, -16, -34
Q2 2014, +44, -43
Q3 2014, -8, -19
Q4 2014, ??, +12

It is clear that the First Time Buying Attitude Index is a leading indicator. And also the general Buying Attitude Index has turned to POSITIVE. So your vote will confirm whether the tide has indeed changed - we want to be the early birds: the first group to spot the down trend and the first group to sense the up trend.

Thanks for voting - even when you are neutral, it will affect the overall index.
