Abstract

Two surveys of active investors explore how frequent stock trading relates to emotionality, self-control and tendency towards addiction. We also examine correlations with frequent monitoring of one's portfolio, use of mobile technology and several physical and emotional health measures. The results illuminate potential causes and consequences of frequent trading.
