John,
1. This is a vote like research analyst votes not a poll. It would be useful to know how many votes are used for each time period. Similar to how many analysts in analysts forcasts.
2. It's an interesting experiment. It would show optimism vs. pessimism of the participants.
The amount of usefulness could vary from index to index or stock to stock depending on how close the voters come to actual prices. Throwing out the high and low values would encourage voters to try and be accurate so their vote is counted. How many high and low values do you throw out is a tougher question?
Only time will tell whether this feature is useful.
I assume the forecast is for the last stock market day of the month.
