Social media may inflate investor confidence, research suggests
Original: Social media may make investors feel more confident than they should be
New research indicates that social media use can lead investors to feel more confident in their financial decisions than is warranted, potentially encouraging riskier behaviour. The findings add to ongoing debate about how online platforms shape retail investing, a topic that has drawn scrutiny since the surge of amateur trading in recent years. Commenters are weighing whether online discussion distorts judgement or merely reflects market sentiment.
Why now: Concerns are growing that online chatter fuels overconfident, risky retail investing.
