Abstract

This article will first explore the role that information (and its principal sources) plays in investors' decisions to invest online. It will then compare the findings that are discussed in the introductory sections of the paper to both generic theory and empirical research in the field of information-seeking behaviour. It concludes with an analysis of the implications of these findings for the regulation of online investing.
