Abstract

We analyzed data collected from retail investors in the Chinese stock market from a Fintech mobile platform to find evidence of the self-fulfilling prophecy effect. We found a statistically significant correlation between the predicted and actual Shanghai Stock Exchange Composite Index (SSECI) as well as non-random deviation patterns. We also analyzed participating investor behaviors and discussed the implications and future research.

Keywords: stock market index, prediction, self-fulfilling prophecy effect, Fintech
