Avoid Speculation: Investors Advised to Use Measured Research

JAKARTA, KOMPAS.com – Amid Indonesia’s increasingly complex and fast-moving stock market, the selection of a stock investment app is considered a key factor for investors in making accurate and measured investment decisions.

The market, increasingly dominated by global institutional movements, requires investors, especially retail ones, to have access to more comprehensive data and analysis.

In this context, understanding the difference between broker summaries and fundamental research becomes crucial, particularly for beginner investors just starting to learn about stocks.

Chief Marketing Officer of PT Indo Premier Sekuritas (IPOT), Sergio Ticoalu, highlighted the phenomenon of retail investors often making decisions based on invalid sources, such as community euphoria or mere broker summaries.

According to him, this situation often leads to panic selling actions when the market reverses direction.

“Many investors feel they are following the movements of the ‘big players’, when in fact they are only reacting to past data that is already lagging,” said Sergio in a written statement on Monday (30/3/2026).

Conversely, some retail investors still rely on information that is not necessarily valid and tends to be speculative.

In response to this situation, IPOT has developed a Smart Money-based investment ecosystem.

This platform offers access to real-time data based on order flow and live orderbook, which is claimed to help investors make more precise decisions.

Through this system, investment risks are said to be more manageable because decisions are based on more up-to-date data.

To bridge the gap between retail investors and institutions, IPOT introduces the IPOT Views feature. This platform is designed as a research tool with institutional-grade research standards.

IPOT Views integrates fundamental analysis, macroeconomics, and market structure typically used by asset management firms, both local and global.
