Abstract
We analyze the likelihood of a stock being included in an investor's portfolio, utilizing a dataset which holds the information opportunity set constant for each of the over 1000 student investors in our sample. Investors rely on the availability heuristic: salience (the number of stories in the national press about a stock in the month before the portfolios are formed) captures over 50% of the variation in our dependent variable.
