Something most underreport right now is the way we buy stocks fundamentally changed.
The money flow used to be pension fund - > some middle men - > financial assets.
Now it is consumer on an app - > financial asset.
While I do not think `app traders` account for a huge chunk of investments, I still think more people are now shopping for stocks as consumers and not as traditional investors. People are picking stocks like they were goods. And they seldom move the markets.
Tesla as a brand is loved. The love for that brand transpires to the stock
You add to that the poor yield on nation bonds, the volatility, the multiple billions pulling out of the dollar, the value of city center real estate crumbling with WFH... there is a lot of money in the market right now. It's time to build.

- texasbigdata 6y agoIs this true on a $ weighted basis? Makes total sense as % of total traders over a X period long session. Presumably Blackrock and Vanguard have longer hold times, therefore at the margin the price movement is driven more by infrequent traders. However, are day traders really "the market" now? Haven't kept up.
