Financial markets are not democracies. They are monetary dictatorships. The reason we allow investors to purchase votes is that if someone is willing to put money behind their conviction in a survey to advertise and generate interest in their investment, the odds are high that they are putting much more money behind the actual trade. Tradevoter users may benefit from the signaling of high conviction trades. Enough high conviction votes may increase the likelihood of that asset rising in price, though of course our site cannot guarantee such an outcome.
Alternatively, Tradevoter could be used the way sentiment surveys are often traditionally viewed: as contrary indicators signaling overbought or oversold conditions and crowded trades which frequently reverse. We leave interpretation of the timing of trend reversals for the various assets and the use of the survey results to our readers.
The goal of our site is to provide an information edge to our users through illuminating the current state of investor thinking as much as possible on a wide array of investable assets.
