Abstract: |
The University students "scalping in stocks" has become a relatively common phenomenon in higher education, parents, educators and schools are increasingly concerned about it. In this paper, the university students "scalping in stocks" has been analyzed in part of the colleges and universities in Shenyang City using the method of questionnaire. The survey results show that some students start to invest by means of buying and selling stocks based on the pursuit of economic independence, access to wealth and ability to exercise their own financial management. Because students often have not a stable source of income, so the funds are from the parents mostly. The features of the university students "scalping in stocks" are: the funds are generally smaller, trading is mainly in short-term oriented, risk-bearing capacity is relatively poor and investment risk appetite is also conservative and steady.
