Since technology came, we’re being quoted by Mr. Market with our stock prices for every second, when the market opens, and can easily manipulate our emotions and decisions.
I heard one of Warren Buffett sayings that investors will have a better investment decision if they’re only being quoted with their stock price once a month or a year.
I remember back in the days when my father watches his stock prices in a newspaper once a week. Imagine only looking at your stock price on a piece of paper, your emotions cannot easily be manipulated, compared to a phone or computer and see the stock price moves up and down every few seconds.
However, people are more educated nowadays due to access to free information about investing in stocks and they know what to do when their stock prices go down, while the value stays the same, buy the dip. Although I know IQ is different from EQ, especially in investing.
My question is, do you think investors are more emotional nowadays as compared to before the technology came?
