Nice idea! More citizen tools for observing and inspecting the elite is always welcome and good project to work on. Some feedback: - INSIDER CONFIDENCE INDEX

Nice idea! More citizen tools for observing and inspecting the elite is always welcome and good project to work on. Some feedback: - INSIDER CONFIDENCE INDEX is missing some sort of description, not sure if it's actually Insider Sentiment Index which is a establish term or if it's something else. - Increase the contrast as almost all of the text (except table headers text) is hard to read without really focusing.

Thanks for the feedback! The insider confidence index is a ratio of net insider selling/buying to the total average volume of a stock in the last 30 days. I will make sure to add a better description, and try to improve the fonts.

  > try to improve the fonts The contrast is less about the fonts and more about the colors. Just making the darker a bit more darker and the light a bit lighter should solve the problem.

    I don't think you're interpreting this correctly. A "sign-up" page here is one that just gets you on a list. You can certainly try this out, you just have to log in.

"More citizen tools for observing and inspecting the elite" Yeah, this is a big reason smart people do not go into politics; the armchair-expert mob.

  Boo-hoo, you can't handle the critic of the public, then sure, don't go into the spotlight. Better that way as well so win-win for everyone. Do you have any sources where these self-proclaimed smart people tell us about their reasons for not going into politics? Many of the mainstream-smart people seem more interested in getting as much money for themselves than working for the public good.

    This, plus most political narcissist think they can lie/talk their way out of anything - or when the questions are really pointed just act like they didnt hear the question and put on a huge grin and just ignore everyone. Lite Pete did. Or, play the Trump card and attack anyone who gets ybder the kimono too mych.
