inancial markets and also the population’s psychology o
f
Balkan countries is very similar
t
o one another. Being a Balkan country, studying individual fi nancial behavior in
A
lbania, is
o
f great interest. The potential for future fi nancial development of the countries of the region
r
epresents a good motivation to study fi nancial behavior of
A
lbanian investors. The paper
d
isplays an analysis of the most critic moments during the transition of the country's fi nancial
system

m
arket events. The shocks which the fi nancial system has gone through during most di cult
t
ransition years under behavioral fi nance perspective will be analyzed, focusing especially on
