AGORACOM SURVEY: 83% Of AGORACOM Visitors Trade Via Online Broker

Posted by AGORACOM at 3:24 AM on Tuesday, March 4th, 2008

As you can tell from many of posts, I’m a data fanatic. Given the fact we (AGORACOM) conduct 95% of our activities online, it only makes sense to take advantage of our digital nature and track everything.

To this end, we ran a simple 3-question survey on our site last week and had 622 people respond in less than 24 hours. Thanks to all that responded. You can view the full survey here but here are some of the highlights:

  • 46.9% have been investing in stocks for more than 10 years;
  • 83.4% trade through an online trading account (1.3% don’t trade stocks)
  • 53% have a portfolio valued at > $100,000 (do you hear that 1.3%?)

622 people in less than 24 hours. Now I’m hooked. Look for more surveys in the future.

p.s. For our members heavily invested in the resource space, we are currently running an onsite survey at the PDAC. I’ll post the results sometime next week.

Regards,
George
