2.1.2 Nature of Investment
Jones, Charles P. 2009 de
d fine tha
at an investment is the commitment of funds to one or more assets that
t will
l be hold over some future period. It is concerned with the management of
o investor’s wealth Rose Peter S and
11 of inventories of raw materials and goods to sell. The form of investment for
business firm, government, and house hold is different. In business firm, expenditures on capital goods and inventories are including as investment
expenditures. For government, the spending to build and maintain public facilities is the form of investment. And in the household the form of investment
is such as purchase a house. Investments often require huge of funds, especially business firm as the leading investment sector in the economy, but it can
increase the productivity of labor and leads to higher standard of living. The huge funds can be raised quickly by selling financial claims in the financial
markets. Financial claims promise investors to get a future flow of income the form of dividends, interest, and other return. Investor will expect not only
recover the original fund but also additional income as reward for waiting assuming risk, even there is no guarantee that the expected income will ever
materialize. According to Damodaran, Aswath 2012 there are three steps that
investors consider in investment choices, such as: a Asset allocation, in these step investors will determine which asset
classes to invest their funds in. this is the first and the most important step and will depend on investor preferences.
b Asset selection: in asset classes that choose in the first step investors have to choose the specific asset to hold.

12 c Performance Evaluation: The judgment that investors made to
choose investment will depend on how the investor measure risk and trade off to get higher return.
According to Jones, Charles P 2009 the foundation for making investment decision are the tradeoff between expected return and risk, the investment
decision process that practiced nowadays is the great unknown; all the investors have to deal with uncertainty that the realized return on any risky assets may be
different from what was expected. Third is the global investment arena, where investors have to think investment in a global context and the last is importance of
internet, where investors can access a wealth of information about investing, trade cheaply and quickly for their investment. According to Obamuyi, Tomola Marshal
2013 there are five principal factors that influencing investment decision, which are performance of the company’s stock, expected stock splitcapital
increasesbonus, dividend policy, expected corporate earnings and get-rich-quick. That research also found that the socio-economic characteristics of investors age,
gender, marital status and educational qualifications influence in the investor investment decision. According to Barber and Odean 2001 selecting common
stocks that will outperform the market is a difficult task. According to Chandra, Abhijeet 2009 Individual investors take trading
decisions based on their self-perceived competence that is influenced by several factors, such as:
and trade off to to

in ing common
stocks that will outperform the m market is a d
difficult task. According to Chandra, Ab
Abhijeet 2 2009 Individual investors take trading
decisions based on their self-percei ive
v d
c competence that is influenced by several
factors such as:
13 1. Income
Chandra, Abhijeet 2009 explain that Individual with higher income found to be more confidence than individual with lower income. It is prove that
investor with higher income is more confidence to make a judgment in investment. This research found that significant income level leads investors to be
more confident and they are more willing to act on their own judgments in term of investment in stock market.
2. Gender As stated on Barber and Odean 2001 that Psychological research has
established that men are more overconfidence than women, especially male- dominated in finance sector. The result of the research are supported the financial
model that men are more confidence than women. Men trade worse than women and they reduce their return more so than women do.
3. Age Chandra, Abhijeet 2009 explain that investor trade less frequently as
they grow older, they tend to play safe with their funds. The research also found that investors in the age group 25-35 years and 35-45 years are more competence
and having more passion in high return. 4. Knowledge
a. Education Background Chandra, Abhijeet 2009 explain that perception and
knowledge of investors could make them become overconfidence. Higher level of education makes an investor feel competence and
found to be more confidence e
th than individua

investor with high gh

Abhij ij
eet 2009 explain that perception and
14 lead them to make frequent trading decision in financial market.
Education status determines their understanding of financial product, offers, and opportunity that makes them to be more
confidence in makes a financial decision. b. Information
According to Merton, Robert C. 1987 based on asset pricing models, investors act on every type of publicly available
information instantaneously as soon as it received. There are two information costs: 1 the cost of gathering and processing data and
2 the cost of transmitting information from one party to another source of information such as firm itself, stock market advisory
services, brokerage houses, and professional portfolio managers .
According to Lee et al. 2008 nowadays Individual investors become more dependent on multimedia information and increase
their understanding by information that posted on the web. Investors will collect all the relevant company stock information
before they decide to investing their funds. This research is using control variable to clearly explain the influence of
main variable or the independent variable which is investor attention of company stock information using Google search volume to the dependent variables. It
support by dictionary.com that control variable is a factor held constant to test the relative impact of an independent variable http:dictionary.reference.com.
Control variable that used in this research are: product, offer

2.1.3 Capital Market
According to Rose, Peter S. and Marquis, Milton H. 2008 capital market is designed for long term loans credit investment by business, government, and
household. The original maturity of this financial instrument is more than one year and the range loan in size from small to multimillion credits. Obamuyi,
Tomola Marshal 2013 define that efficient funds transfer between lender and borrower is the basic function of capital market. There are three basic objectives
which makes investors invest in capital market: 1. Wealth maximization
2. Liquidity maintenance 3. Risk minimization
According to Fabozi, Frank J. and Drake, Pamela Peterson 2009 there are two types of capital market securities which are equity and debt. Equity is
issued by corporations and represents shares of ownership interest. It includes common stock and preferred stocks. Common stock is a perpetual security that
has no maturity and it is represent the ownership of the corporation. Preferred stock is representing ownership interest in a corporation that has redemption date.
And the other capital market securities is debt obligation that issued by corporation and local government. It is a financial instrument whereby the
borrower promises to repay the maturity value one year after insurance. According to Rose, Pet

17 There are some indicators that can be used to measure the performance of
capital market. These indicators such as: a The number of listed company, according to businessdictionary.com this is
the sum of company that listed on each of stock market. Company listed is firm whose share is listed quoted on an exchange market for public
trading. A company can be listed on more than one exchange market that called dual listing http:www.businessdictionary.com. The more the
number listed company it means that the more liquid that market. b Total Trading Volume, it is measure how many trades take place for
a security or on an exchange on a given trading day. A high trading volume is an indicator of a high level of interest in a security at its
current price. It is an important tool in technical analysis, trading volume is used to determine the strength of a market indicator http:financial-
dictionary.thefreedictionary.com. c Market Volatility, according to investorwords it is the unpredictable and
vigorous changes in the price within the stock market. It is necessary for some movement within the market in order to sell commodities, however a
volatile market represents the most risk to investors
http:www.investorwords.com. Investopedia defined that market volatility is a statistical measure of the
dispersion of returns for a given security or market index. Higher the volatility are the riskier the security http:www.investorwords.com.

2.1.4 Random walk Theory and Efficient Market Hypothesis
According to Bodie et al. 2008 random walk theory is the notion that stock price changes are random and unpredictable. If stock price movement were
predictable, that would be damning evidence of stock market inefficiency. According to Rose, Peter S. and Marquis, Milton H. 2008 the efficient
markets hypothesis suggest all information that has bearing on the market value the prices of that assets. Bodie et al. 2008 define that efficient market hypothesis
is the hypothesis that prices of securities fully reflect available information about securities. It’s clearly define by McMillan et al. 2011 that efficient market is a
market in which asset prices fully reflect all past and present information; market in which asset prices reflect the new information quickly and rationally. The
important point of efficient market is price should be expected react only to the measured by using th

2008 define that efficient market hypothesis
is the hypothesis that prices of se ecurities fu

market in which asset prices fully refle le

19 elements information release such as unexpected or surprise information and
investors process the unexpected information and revise expectation. Rose, Peter S. and Marquis, Milton H. 2008 explains that if efficient
market hypothesis is correct, investors will react to temporary underpricing or temporary overpricing of assets and make changes in their portfolios because any
temporary deviation of actual returns from expected returns should be eliminated. McMillan et al. 2011 also stated that there are some factors that
contributing to market efficiency such as market participants where the number of investors individual and institutional related to the market efficiency. Other
factor is information availability such as trading activity and traded companies and financial disclosure
. There are two costs that incurred by traders in identifying
and exploiting possible market inefficiencies affect the interpretation of market efficiency. First is transaction cost, according to Investopedia
http:www.investopedia.com it is an expenses that incurred when buying or selling securities. Transaction costs include brokers commissions and spreads the
difference between the price the dealer paid for a security and the price the buyer pays. Second is information acquisition cost, the cost of a business to acquire a
new customer. The company recognizes costs, including marketing and incentives, to introduce new customers to the companys products and services.
The customer acquisition cost is calculated by dividing total acquisition costs by total new customers over a set period of time.
According to Bodie et al. 2008 in market equilibrium, efficient informational gathering should be beneficial, because when information cost

efficiency that shows in Table below:

prices changes by extrapolating prices or pattern of prices from the past because it’s already reflected in current prices.

S. and Marquis, Milton H. 2008.
2.1.5 Asymmetric Information
According to Rose, Peter S. and Marquis, Milton H. 2008 asymmetric information is view that disputes the financial marketplaces contains pockets of
inefficiency in the availability and use of information. According to Investopedia, definition of asymmetric information is a
situation in which one party in a transaction has more or superior information compared to another http:www.investopedia.com. Others web sources
http:www.economicshelp.org also stated that asymmetric information is a situation where there is imperfect knowledge. In particular, it is occurs where one
party has different information to another. Asymmetric information should be eliminate through the increased of advanced technology because more people
being easily to get information investopedia.com. Many analysts agree that asymmetric information is harder to come by in developed than developing
markets because information in developed markets easily spread timely in everywhere.
According to Rose, Peter S. and Marquis, Milton H. 2008 asymmetric information give consequences for the financial marketplace because there will
be variations in both quantity and quality of the information available. But, the important point is that not all the information is good information, just having
information that others don’t have doesn’t make the information more valuable or

22 even correct http:www.investinganswers.com. It’s supported by Rose, Peter S.
and Marquis, Milton H. 2008 that market inefficiency can be created by the presence of imperfect or bad information.
This is the theory where there are two kinds of investors, informed investor and uninformed investors. It can give unequally condition because the
informed investor can have more information and knowledge that can give them a better understand and result in decision making to do investment as stated in web
sources http:www.investinganswers.com. It’s supported by Rose, Peter S. and Marquis, Milton H. 2008 that in the real word there is no market that either
completely efficient or completely asymmetric, this book split the real world market into two segments, which are a highly efficient market that trade by well-
informed individuals and institutions trader. The other segment is consisting of less-well-informed small investors’ trader, where information is asymmetrically
distributed.
2.1.6 Google Trends

phrases have been quires over a specific period of time. The result called as “search volume index” that displayed in graph. The data can be save as .csv file
and opened in excel http:whatis.techtarget.com. Google trends is similar with Google Insight, according to Scheitle 2011 this search tool will provide data on
the relative frequency of search terms entered by Google users across time and presence of imperfect or bad i

a particular ecological case e.g., a state for a particular term or group of terms during a time period is determined and then will be normalized. Google.com
define that the result in Google Trends are normalized to make it easier in comparing the search data and cancel out the variable’s effect on the data.
Normalized means sets of search data are divided by common variable such as total search. Without normalized, region with the most search volume would
always rank highest https:support.google.com. Scheitle 2011 also explain that the search that have highest rate with the “search term” will give a score of
100, the scale is from 0-100. These data are obviously based on the population using the Internet or, more precisely, the population of Internet users conducting
searches on Google. The researcher interested to use the search volume index from Google
trends as the direct proxy for attention because from the search volume index we can see the frequency for a term that searched by the people, its supported by
scheitle 2011 that if people are concerned or interested in a particular issue, they will be more likely to search for resources, news, websites, discussion boards, and
other types of information related to that issue. As interest goes up or goes down over time, these searches will increase or decrease as well.

2.1.7 Liquidity
According to Bodie et al. 2008 liquidity is the speed and ease with which an asset can be converted to cash. It is a relationship between the time dimension
and the price dimension of an investment asset. Based on Investopedia http:www.investopedia.com definition of liquidity is the degree to which an
asset or security can be bought or sold in the market without affecting the assets price. Liquidity is characterized by a high level of trading activity. Assets that can
be easily bought or sold are known as liquid assets. Other definition is the ability to convert an asset to cash quickly which also known as marketability.
According to Rose, Peter S. and Marquis, Milton H. 2008 a liquid financial asset is readily marketable, which is mean that the assets can be sold
quickly. It is related to assets’ price and generally carries lower yields, stable price and reversibility. Liquidity can be measure by bid-ask spread, trading volume,
frequency of trades, and average trade size. Liquid instrument will have higher in trading volume, trading frequency, and average daily trade size.

asure by bid-ask spread trading volume
26 Wyss, Rico von 2004 also explain that liquidity measures are separated
into one-dimensional only one variable in one measure and multi-dimensional ones different variables in one measure. The one-dimensional liquidity measure
is separated into four groups such as: size of the firm, the volume traded, the time between subsequent trades or the spread.
According to Tripathy, naliniprava 2011 trading volume tends to be higher when stock prices are increasing; its changes reflect the available set of
relevant information perceived by the market. This research found significant contemporaneous relationship between return volatility and trading volume that
indicate the information may flow simultaneously rather than sequentially into the market. The study also found that trading volume is associated with an increase in
return volatility and this relationship is asymmetrical. The study revealed that shocks in stock returns impact trading volume in the expected direction over a
short horizon. According to Pathirawasam, C. 2011. Higher volume in the market leads to a shorter time needed for trading a predefined amount of shares.
So when trading volume is high this is a sign of high liquidity.
2.1.8 Return and Risk
According to McMillan et al. 2011 return is defined as the reward for undertaking the investment, it is the motivating forces in the investment process.
There are two components of return which are; yield that is the income component of a security’s return and second is capital gain loss which is the
change in price on a security over some period of time. ones different variables in o

derived from Italian verb riscare which means “to dare”. Investors “dare to” get profits by taking advantage of opportunistic side of risk. According to
Damodaran, Aswath 2012 risk in finance is defined in term of actual return on an investment around an expected return, even when those returns represent
positive outcomes. According to McMillan et al. 2011 there are some sources of risk, such as:
a Interest Rate Risk: changes in the level of interest rate that resulting on the variability in security’s return.
b Market Risk: fluctuations in the overall market that makes variability in return.
c Inflation Risk: the chance that purchasing power of invested money will decline.
d Business Risk: the risk of doing business in a particular industry or environment
e Financial Risk: it is associated with the use of debt financing. The variability in the return getting larger if the proportion of asset
financed by debt is larger. f Liquidity Risk: this risk higher when the investment can’t be

Peterson 2009 and McMillan et al. 2011 define that there are two risks that must be consider when investor deal with investment. The first is systematic risk,
risk that cannot be diversified no matter the investor does or it called nondiversifiable risk, such as interest rate, inflation, economic cycles, political
uncertainty, and natural disaster. Second is unsystematic risk, which is risk that can be eliminated by diversification or it called diversifiable risk.
Risk can be measure using variance and standard deviation. Variance is absolute measure of dispersion. Standard deviation is a measure of the dispersion in
outcomes around the expected value.
2.1.9 Relation between Investors’ attention with Liquidity
Da et al. 2009 discovered that Google search volume is closely related to the trading by individual investors. It shows the intense effect on the trading
behaviors of investors. According to Tripathy, Naliniprava 2011 trading volume and its changes described the available set of relevant information perceived by
the market. This research concludes that trading volume is related with the stock return volatility. High trading volume is related with high stock return volatility. It
is also define that news which received by the investors is give effect on the stock return volatility. Good news increasing the stock return volatility leads to increase
trading volume. According to Chae 2002 investor attention can be seen from the According to Jones, Ch

itself can decrease the asymmetric information and make the stock more liquid. Here, there is positive relation between investor attention and liquidity.
2.1.10 Relation between Investors’ attention with Return and Risk
According to Ross et al. 2009 define that individual expects a stock to earn over next period is called expected return. According to Fama and French
1992 variables that can explain the average return is size and book to market equity and it is also the proxy of common risk factors in return. Investors want to
invest in investment is to get higher return and a low standard deviation risk. Ross et al. 2009 explain that return on any stock consists of two parts such as
normal or expected return and the uncertain or risky return on the stock. Normal return or expected return can be predict by investors depend on the information
that have by investors and bear on the stock. Uncertain or risky return on the stock is part that comes from information that will reveal within the month. Ashraf,
M.A and Joarder, H.R 2009 stated on their research that informed investors could be more advantageous than uninformed investors in averting risk. Risk is
related with uncertainty, according to Andre, Daniel and Hasler, Michael 2013 when investor pay attention to news the uncertainty will decrease and the
estimated growth rate is increasing and vice versa. In portfolio theory we learn about high risk high return, some investors
willing to invest their funds in high risk investment because they expected the high return from that investment. There is positive relation between risk and

2.2 Previous Research
According to Barber and Ode an
an 2008 attention is a scare resource. First,
34 investors’ attention. There are two kinds of investors which are informed investor
that observed the same signal weather want to buy or sell and uninformed investor that make a random purchase or random sales. This research was used indirect
proxies to measure the investors’ attention such as : news, unusual trading volume, and extreme returns. The researcher also stated that trading volume is
greater when news about a firm a reach investors and the important news often result in significant positive or negative returns. Barber and Odean 2008 explain
that investors are overconfident about the quality of their information that makes them trade too much. Information is needed to do investment but we have to make
sure that we use the appropriate information. Such investors’ trades sub optimally because they may overvalue the importance of events that catch their attention.
This research was concluding that when alternatives are many and search cost high, attention may affect choice decision that preferences.
According to Da et al. 2009 extreme returns, trading volume, news and headline, and advertising expense are indirect proxies for investor attention but
return can be driven by factors unrelated to investor attention and news doesn’t guarantee unless investor actually read it. This research proposes a direct measure
of investor attention using search frequency or search volume index SVI in Google. The reason is because internet users commonly uses search engine to
collect information and Google continues to become the favorite of the search engine. Da et al 2009 discovered that Google search volume is closely related to
the trading by individual investors. It shows the intense effect on the trading behaviors of investors. Search volume index is able to capture public attention
that make a random purchas s

Google search volume is closely related to
35 that is not capture by news; it is capturing the demand for attention or active
attention on a real time basis. Investors can be search information in Google using company ticker or company name. This research examines weekly SVI of
Russell 3000 individual stocks from January 2004 to June 2008 for individual investors. In this research, individual investors are more active to search
information when they tend to buy stock because they have to choose from so many alternatives and it will push up stock price temporarily.
Bank, M., Peter, George. 2011 conducted a research about investor attention that using Google search volume as the direct proxy and study the
implication for trading activity, liquidity, and returns of German stocks. This research found that search volume is a powerful measure for investor attention
especially uninformed investor. The higher the search volume will increase the trading activity, improve liquidity stock and high future return in short run. This
research using company name that took from Thomson reuter data streams as the keyword search to get data of Google search volume index.
Usman, B. 2012 conducted a research about the Investor attention using Google search traffic and its influence on return, liquidity, and volatility of stock
return for manufacturing firm in Indonesia. This research concludes that Google search volume reduces the asymmetry information between informed and
uninformed investors. High search of information help investors make decision that impact on liquidity improvement, and the increasing liquidity affect the
volatility returns. Below is the summary of previous research:
