Investor Behavior

Expectations
Views of the future that inform consumer, investor, business, and government decisions. Various factors can affect expectations and thereby impact the value of financial assets and business entities.
Panic Buying/Selling
Panic buying or selling involves a flurry of transactions characterized by high volume. This phenomenon occurs in response to news events that hint at sharply rising or falling prices, often leaving investors with inadequate time to assess the fundamentals of individual stocks or bonds.
Risk Averse
Understanding risk-averse investors who prioritize security over potential higher returns.
Selling Climax
A selling climax refers to a sudden plunge in security prices when investors, driven by panic, simultaneously decide to dump their holdings. This event can sometimes signal the bottom of a bear market, after which the market may start to rise.
