Abstract

Bandarmology analysis is a new paradigm in stock investment. This concept has similarities with herd behavior which has been discussed in several works of literature for a long time. Some stock investors, especially the millennial generation in Indonesia, have almost no good financial literacy. The phenomenon shows that they are brave enough to invest in stocks just by following the actions of stock influencers. There is very little literature discussing this phenomenon. This study emphasizes the emotional response of stock investors associated with the information provided by stock influencers. Several variables are arranged in this research model to determine predictors that encourage investment interest. This study takes a sample of 100 respondents who follow specific stock influencers. The collected data was analyzed using Smart PLS software. The study's results stated that all hypotheses proposed in this study were accepted. The author has proved that emotional response is a strong predictor that can change the behavior of stock investors. The author also proves that perceived risk, social influence, and source credibility are antecedents that impact emotional response. However, this research also still has limitations. Respondents were only taken from a stock influencer (kaptensaham707) and considered unable to generalize the research findings. This study also ignores the nature of stock investors’ positive or negative emotions, which will impact behavior differently.
