To sell or not to sell? Behavior of shareholders during price collapses

Abstract: It is a common belief that the behavior of shareholders depends upon the direction of price fluctuations: if prices increase they buy, if prices decrease they sell. That belief, however, is more based on ``common sense'' than on facts. In this paper we present evidence for a specific class of shareholders which shows that the actual behavior of shareholders can be markedly different.
