Vanguard tracked the behavior of its “self-directed” clients, the ones who make their own decisions about moving money in and out of the market, between April 3 and 9. Here’s what their analysis found:
* Only 8.4% of investors executed trades on any of those days, reacting to the volatile market by buying or selling stocks.
* Most investors who made trades did so on only one of the five trading days.
* Of the investors who made trades, buyers outnumbered sellers nearly 5 to 1. In other words, few investors resorted to panic-selling.
