The AMT SURVEY
THE ULTIMATE INDICATOR: the Crowd
IF THE CROWD IS GOING ONE WAY, RUN THE OTHER WAY

The objective of this unofficial survey is to measure traders commitment to various marketing issues. Often, when traders agree on a certain market issue such as price, do just the opposite... for that may signal a top or bottom (i.e., if everyone is bearish, there must be no one left to sell it... therefore, a market bottom may be at hand). Enter your inputs each week by Thursday, 3:00 PM CST. Tell your neighbor.

Consolidated data will be posted each week on Friday. Old data will be purged to ensure accurate and timely assessments. The margin of error in this unscientific poll is dependent upon the number of submissions each week. Traders in one part of the US, or globe, may have formulated opinions based on factors specific to their locations only. There is no guarantee, therefore, that results every week will reflect a representative sample of all traders in a given commodity. Survey results are intended for information purposes only and do not constitute an offer to buy or sell.

Please indicate your best guess in answering the following questions.
Address only those commodities in which you have an interest.
