Technical analysis and individual investors
Journal of Economic Behavior & Organization, 2014We find that individual investors who use technical analysis and trade options frequently make poor portfolio decisions, resulting in dramatically lower returns than other investors. The data on which this claim is based consists of transaction records and matched survey responses of a sample of Dutch discount brokerage clients for the period 2000-2006.

Traditional finance explains individual investor’s behavior and financial decision making based on economic incentives and rationality. Modern finance, however, takes a holistic view and searches for not only economic but also biological, psychological, and social factors that shape decision making.

That is because people have become more aware of specific risk (chapter 2) and of the wisdom of diversification through mutual funds. There are, however, some individuals who still want to manage all aspects of their financial activities. These individual

Trust and local bias of individual investors
Journal of Banking & Finance, 2016It has been widely documented that investment decisions of individual investors exhibit local bias.

A portrait of the individual investor
European Economic Review, 1998Abstract Behavioral finance models often rely on a concept of noise traders who are prone to judgment and decision-making errors. What do noise traders do? We review prior research and present new survey evidence on the behavior of small individual investors who manage their own equity portfolios. Many people (1) discover naive patterns in past price
