Dear Lowyat readers,

I have conducted an online survey which I posted here in the month of Feb'09. Below is the results of my finding:

Top 10 and least 5 items that significantly influence on individual investors equity investment decisions
Rank Items
1 Expected Stock Market Performance
2 Firm Status in Industry
3 Past Performance of Firm's Stock
4 Reputation of Firm
5 Expected Dividends
6 Risk Minimization
7 Condition of Financial Statements
8 Expected Corporate Earnings
9 Affordable Share Price
10 Feeling for Firm's Products and Services
.
.
26 Coverage in General Press
27 Individual Stock Broker Recommendation
28 Environmental Record
29 Brokerage House Recommendation
30 Friends/ Co-workers Recommendation

Moreover, the finding indicated that neutral and accounting information are significant in predicting expected return. Neutral information shows a positive relationship but accounting information shows a negative relationship with expected return.

I would like to express my gratitude to whosoever have participate in the survey
Thanks,
tpin
