Investment decisions are the main key for someone to achieve their goal, namely maximizing profits. The decisions taken should be in accordance with the risk that will be accepted and the level of return. When novice voters start an investment, other people's opinions are often taken into consideration when making decisions, which is known as herding behavior. And when choosing an investment, we need to learn about financial literacy to avoid fraudulent investments.
