Korta aktieaffärer och spekulationer i derivat har blivit allt vanligare. Vi har undersökt studenter från Luleå Tekniska Universitet och deras beteenden och metoder när de handlar med värdepapper. Vi har konstaterat att många medvetet höjer risken maximalt för att öka chansen till hög avkastning. Många ökar risken genom derivathandel, andra genom så kallad ?Daytrading?.

Background The stocksaving has during the last century increased and become more popular in Sweden and during the last 20 years the number of Swedes who save in stocks has more than doubled. While the interest in stocksaving has increased so has the interest in private saving. Today there is a group of people who live of the income which is generated from the stockmarket, they are called ?Daytraders? and they do ?Daytrading?.  They constantly observe the stockmarket and act as soon as new information that can affect the stockrate is revealed.
