A hotly debated issue in behavioral finance, many investors feel that they're not noise traders and, therefore, only make well informed investment decisions.
In reality, most people are considered to be noise traders, as very few actually make investment decisions solely using fundamental analysis. Furthermore, technical analysis is considered to be a part of noise trading because the data is unrelated to the fundamentals of a company.
