This paper studies how information on the internet affects the stock picking decision of retail investors. We use stock discussion on subReddit r/wallstreetbet to proxy for information that retail investors receive from the internet and look at how stock held by Robinhood investors correlates with the amount of discussion around the stock in Reddit. Our result shows that stocks with a high number of discussions on Reddit are excessively held by Robinhood investors, even after controlling for market capitalization of each stock. Our result sheds light on the process through which retail investors decide which stock to include in their portfolio, and reveals another dimension of irrationality in retail investor's behavior.
To generate student projects that effectively inform tasks on a main project (MP), and enable students to participate in the development of a solution to a problem that affects user satisfaction with renewable energy solutions. This research contains a reflection on the mapping of project’s requirements to learning outcomes of the engineering development project (EDP) paper. Alignment to the goals and learning outcomes of the course will be discussed as well as broader implications for service learning and the potential for the project to be adapted to meet broader institutional objectives such as sustainability will be presented.
In conclusion, this paper describes the mapping of the graduate attributes and the learning outcomes in student projects to objectives of the MP, reflects on the achievement of these learning outcomes in the context of a project that fully explores all of them, and describes the service-learning potential for this type of student project.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
