Hi so I’m looking for resources to understand the phenomenon of unintelligent, uninformed investment decision making in the financial markets of developing countries. In the market that I primarily invest in, it is very common for retail investors to act like traders in that they are mainly driven by FUD, greed and panic. Online forums are very limited and the ones that exist are usually ridden by investors asking for trading ‘tips’. We also have a lot of stock market whales that do rampant front running and insider trading. This is partly a cause of weak regulations as well.
I’m trying to understand the reasons behind unintelligent investing among retail investors that have no concern about fundamental realities. Potential solutions? The market is also undergoing a digital revolution across sectors so ways in which this could make investing styles for intelligent and research driven?
Thanks, the question is purposefully open ended. Trying to get a wide range of perspectives here.
