Introduction
Behavioral finance commonly defined as the application of psychology to finance models and interprets phenomena ranging from individual investor conduct to market-level outcomes. Investors can greatly benefit from the application of behavioral finance to their unique situations. The traditional view on stock return proposes that stock price changes due to systematic changes in the fundamental value of the firm. But recent papers report that investor sentiment plays an important role in determining prices especially for the small cap stocks. This paper attempts to investigate the effect of investor sentiment on the price of stocks. In other words, the aim of this study is to investigate the relationship between the investor’s sentiment and price stocks in companies listed in Tehran Stock Exchange Market (TSEM).
