study investigates the transformative impact of social media on investment strategies among Angel
Broking users in Tumkur, Karnataka. As platforms like Facebook, Instagram, and LinkedIn increasingly
influence market sentiments and trading behaviors, understanding their role is crucial for grasping
contemporary investment dynamics. By examining how social media trends and discussions influence
investment strategies, this research aims to uncover detailed insights into how digital interactions shape
decision-making processes in the stock market.
Angel Broking, a key player in India's financial services sector, offers a rich context for this investigation
due to its extensive user base in Tumkur, Karnataka. Focusing on Angel Broking users, this study will

frequency among investors in the region.
Moreover, this research is significant for improving financial literacy and decision-making frameworks in
an era dominated by digital information flows. By identifying the mechanisms through which social media
influences investment behaviors, the study aims to provide valuable insights that can guide strategies for
both individual investors and financial institutions. Ultimately, the findings will illuminate the specific
dynamics of Angel Broking users in Tumkur while offering broader implications for how investors

4. Theoretical Aspects- "The Impact of Social Media on Investors' Decision-Making in the Stock
Market:[17][19]
4.1 Theoretical Framework
a. Behavioral Finance Theory: Behavioral finance combines psychological insights with conventional

economic and financial theories to understand why investors often act irrationally. Social media can
heighten behavioral biases such as herding behavior, overconfidence, and anchoring. Investors may
follow trends, imitate the actions of perceived experts or influencers, and make decisions based on
easily accessible information rather than thorough analysis.
b. Social Influence Theory: This theory examines how individuals' behaviors, attitudes, and beliefs are
influenced by social interactions and the behavior of others. Social media provides a platform for
extensive social interaction where financial influencers, peer discussions, and viral trends significantly
impact investor decisions. It helps in understanding the role of social proof and conformity in
investment choices.
c. Information Cascade Theory: Information cascade theory describes situations where each
subsequent actor makes the same choice based on the observations of others, independent of their own
private information signals. On social media, observing many people investing in a particular stock
can lead others to follow suit, creating a cascade effect. This explains the rapid spread of investment
trends and the formation of bubbles.
d. Prospect Theory: Prospect theory, pioneered by Daniel Kahneman and Amos Tversky, examines how
people make decisions involving uncertain probabilities and risks. Social media has the potential to
influence how investors perceive potential gains and losses, potentially altering their risk tolerance.
For example, the excitement generated on social media about a particular stock could lead investors
to overestimate potential gains while underestimating associated risks.
e. Technology Acceptance Model (TAM): TAM explains how users come to accept and use a
technology, focusing on perceived usefulness and perceived ease of use. Understanding how investors
perceive the usefulness of social media for making investment decisions and how easy they find
accessing and using these platforms can provide insights into the adoption of social media as an
investment tool.
4.2 Application of Theories
a. Behavioral Finance Theory: The study examine how social media interactions contribute to
cognitive biases among Angel Broking users. For instance, frequent exposure to positive posts about
a stock may lead to overconfidence in its potential performance.
b. Social Influence Theory: This theory will help explore the extent to which Angel Broking users in
Tumkur are influenced by financial influencers and peer discussions on platforms like Facebook and
Instagram. The study will investigate the impact of social proof and how conformity affects investment
choices.
c. Information Cascade Theory: The research will investigate instances where Angel Broking users’
investment decisions were mainly influenced by observing the actions of others on social media,
leading to the rapid adoption of investment trends without independent analysis[13].
d. Prospect Theory: By assessing the content shared on social media, the study will identify how the
framing of potential gains and losses impacts investors' risk tolerance. For example, hype and fearmongering posts will be analyzed to understand their effect on investor psychology.
e. Technology Acceptance Model (TAM): The study will evaluate the perceived usefulness and ease
of use of social media platforms among Angel Broking users for investment purposes. This includes
assessing how these perceptions correlate with the frequency and nature of their investment decisions
influenced by social media. [14].

involved in using social media for investment purposes, as reflected in their higher engagement rates
with platforms like Instagram and Facebook.
b. Investment Experience: About 50% of respondents have less than 3 years of investment experience,
highlighting a significant proportion of novice investors. This demographic trend suggests that newer
investors may be more susceptible to the inspiration of social television on their investment decisions
compared to more seasoned investors.
Social Media Practice and Influence on Investment Decisions
a. Social Media Platforms: "The study reveals that Instagram is the most popular platform for
investment information among respondents, followed closely by Facebook. Instagram, Twitter, and
LinkedIn, Instagram also play significant roles in influencing investment decisions."
b. Frequency of Social Media Use: A considerable number of respondents use social media daily or
weekly for investment purposes. This frequent engagement suggests that social media plays a pivotal
role in shaping their investment strategies and decisions.
c. Influence on Stock Selection: Regarding the influence of social media on stock selection decisions,
the responses vary, with 50% either agreeing or strongly agreeing that social media impacts their
choices. This indicates a significant influence of digital platforms in guiding investment decisions,
potentially affecting market behaviors based on trends and discussions.
d. Behavioral Impact: Sixty percent of respondents have bought or sold stocks based on social media
trends, highlighting the direct impact of online discussions and recommendations from influencers on
trading activities. This behavior underscores the potential volatility introduced by social media-driven
decisions in the stock market.
e. Following Financial Influencers: Thirty percent of respondents often follow recommendations from
financial influencers, while an additional 20% do so always. This trend indicates a reliance on nontraditional sources of financial advice, potentially affecting investment outcomes based on the
credibility and accuracy of such influencers.
Psychological Effects and Financial Literacy
a. Emotional Influence: The study reveals that 40% of respondents either agree or strongly agree that
social media affects their emotional state when making investment decisions. This emotional influence
can lead to impulsive decisions, highlighting the psychological impact of digital interactions on
financial behaviors.
b. Belief in Financial Literacy: A majority (80%) of respondents agree or strongly agree that enhancing
financial literacy can mitigate the impact of social media on investment decisions. This suggests a
recognition among investors of the importance of education and critical thinking in navigating digital
information for sound financial choices.

Analysis: The calculated Chi-Square value at 4 degrees of freedom is 5 % significance level is 17.48, the

Interpretation: Rejecting the null hypothesis that "Social Media's Effect on Emotional State and
Financial Literacy affects Investment Decisions" implies that emotional responses to social media content
about investments do indeed significantly influence investors' emotional states during decision-making.
Conversely, beliefs aimed at improving financial literacy to counteract social media's impact may not
strongly mitigate the emotional reactions to online information. This suggests that emotional responses to
social media and beliefs in financial literacy may independently shape investment decisions, emphasizing
a nuanced understanding of how investors navigate digital information and financial decision-making
processes.

Analysis: The calculated Chi-Square value at 4 degrees of freedom is 5 % significance level is 1.00, the
calculated value is less than table value (9.4) hence Null hypothesis is accepted.
Interpretation: Based on the statistical test results, we fail to reject the null hypothesis. This indicates
that there is no statistically significant association between the selection of social media platforms for
investment information among respondents at the specified significance level. In simpler terms, the data
does not support the rejection of the null hypothesis, suggesting that the distribution of preferences for
various social media platforms among investors aligns with what would be expected randomly or by
chance.
8. Finding and recommendation:
• Younger adults (18-35 years) heavily rely on platforms like YouTube and Facebook for investment
information, influencing their investment decisions significantly[12].
• Most respondents use social media daily or weekly for investing, indicating its pervasive role in
shaping their strategies.
• Nearly half of respondents believe social media affects their stock choices, highlighting its impact on
investor behavior and market dynamics.
• A majority of respondents trade stocks based on social media trends, showing how online discussions
and influencers directly influence their actions.
• While acknowledging social media's emotional impact on investments, many emphasize the
importance of financial literacy in mitigating these effects, advocating a balanced approach to
informed decision-making[19].
Conclusions:
Based on a thorough analysis of how social media impacts investors' decisions in the stock market, several
key insights have emerged. Younger demographics, especially those aged 18-35, heavily rely on platforms
like YouTube and Facebook for investment insights, shaping their investment behaviors significantly.
Many respondents engage with social media daily or weekly, underscoring its critical role in guiding their
investment strategies.
Furthermore, social media not only influences stock selection but also directly affects trading decisions,
with a majority of respondents making investment moves based on online trends. Despite these influences,
there is a strong emphasis on the importance of financial literacy in mitigating risks associated with social
media-driven investment choices. These findings highlight the evolving landscape where social media
plays a pivotal role in investment decisions, emphasizing the need for a balanced approach that combines
digital proficiency with financial knowledge for navigating the stock market effectively.
