Ok, fixed.
The purpose is to get an idea of the distribution of investors. Taking that and the total number of investors allows us to estimate how much money is in the hands of traders with different account sizes.
For example, if 500 people are willing to invest $1,000 they would have equal power to one person with $500,000 if they acted in a coordinated fashion.
Oh, so you're not trying to mount an "attack" on the man-ipulator?
Nope, I want to know how difficult it would be for sentiment to override the wishes of the big traders.

How the hell you gonna pull that one off?
People would naturally attempt to do it if sentiment was strong enough.
