17. Posts per day - top 50% of posters vs the rest (28 day moving averages)

Refer to this post from our 4 year anniversary stats for more discussion about what this chart means.






For the first time in a couple of years, newer members posted less than established members for a few months at the beginning of 2020. I think this represents fear in the market - uncertainty brought on by the pandemic and a slowing property market.

 

18. Posts per day - Property vs Shares (28 day moving averages)



With property markets going into hibernation and the sharemarket going psycho during 2020 - it's not surprising that we've seen a significant increase in the amount of sharemarket discussion in recent months.

 

19. Posts per day - popular topics (90 day moving averages)



As the property market went into hibernation during early 2020, there was far less discussion about where to buy and much more about the state of the economy.

 

20. Posts per day - APRA (90 day moving averages)



APRA is becoming much less of an issue for discussion

 

21. Posts per day - sentiment keywords (90 day moving averages)

Posts containing "positive" keywords:

• boom
• bubble
• bull

... vs posts containing "negative" keywords:

• bust
• crash
• downturn
• correction
• bear

Shown as a percentage of all posts.




Since the beginning of April, sentiment turned negative again - which is unsurprising given the uncertainty around COVID and the rental eviction moritoriums.

 

22. Likes per day (28 day moving averages)

 

23. Active users per day (28 day moving average)

 

24a. User status

• Valid: account is fully active and the user can post (this number is shown as the "total users" count you see in the sidebar)
• Invalid: account is suspended because the user either has not confirmed their email address; emails sent to them have bounced back as undeliverable; the user requested that their account be disabled; or they changed their email address but never verified it
• Banned: account has been disabled because the user was either banned for spamming, or banned for rule violations. Note the percentage doesn't show on the pie chart - it is 1.5% of total user registrations.
  
• Removed: accounts have been purged from the database because they were either invalid or banned and never posted. Purges happen only periodically, so over time more of the invalid and banned (because of spam) users will be removed.

Quite a few more "Removed" users now that we've merged the InvestChat user database in.

24b. Valid users

• Active: valid and has posted
• Never posted: can post, but hasn't

24c. Invalid users

• Email bounced: we received notification from our email service provider that mail was permanently undeliverable to this user (ie was never a valid email address; email address is no longer valid; user has blocked us; user made a spam complaint against us; our email service provider blocks us from sending to that address)
• Incomplete Registration: user never confirmed their email address after registering
• Account Disabled: user voluntarily requested us to disable their account
• Never logged in: user has never logged in again since registering and never completed registration
• Email Changed: user changed their email address but did not confirm the new address
