HERDING BEHAVIOR: MENGEKSPLORASI SISI ANALISIS BROKER SUMMARY
<p><strong><em>Abstract</em></strong><em>: Our research focuses on herding behavior and broker summary analysis in the Covid-19 time frame in Indonesia. Herding behavior in the retail exchange community or the general public is considered detrimental due to the irrationality of analysis and promoting euphoria which results in very large losses. Answering the research gap, we offer a broad exploration concept to avoid and create positive returns by utilizing the herding behavior of the retail market community. We tested using multiple methods to ensure the existence of herding behavior in a regression setting of two and took advantage of positive opportunistic returns for exchange play. The first method shows that the research sample detected herding behavior during March 11, 2020 – March 11, 202 and we ensure the resilience of existence through two models. The second method, to get a positive return, we offer bandarmology analysis adopted from Dow theory for trading in a market maker style. Analyzing the movement and following market makers, we can conclude that it creates positive returns and prevents the stock exchange community from the impact of sustainable auto rejects. This study has limitations, for future research we expect the use of empirical models that are simpler and more efficient in revealing herding behavior. Furthermore, for the exploratory method, further research can be carried out in disclosing bandarmology analysis based on stock categorization (blue chip, second liner, and third liner), time horizon of market makers, and detailed analysis of camouflage behavior of market makers using retail securities.</em></p><p><strong><em>Keywords</em></strong><em>: bandarmology</em><em>;</em><em> brokers summary;</em><em> </em><em>herding behavior; market makers </em></p>
