Retail investors have leaned into this year’s market gyrations, pumping cash into US equities even as share prices have tumbled from the historic highs recorded at the start of January. Smaller investors have been net buyers of US equities and exchange traded funds every trading day this month, according to data from VandaTrack. The scale of daily inflows stood above the 2021 average on all but two days since the start of the year.

Just amazing. With the margin calls, just wonder when retail traders will run out of money to buy dips.

Prolly never... with Government sending them checks to stay home and not work.

Bagholders rushing in as the pros dump... crazy to see it in real time. Imagine the retail panic buying when NDX (and crypto, etc) posts a relief rally over the next few weeks.

In terms of the entire stock markets, we get HFTs, institutionals and retail traders. With the $0 stock trading, retail trading volume is very significant. So I just wonder what $$ % of the previous three market segments.

If retail traders have been net buyers and markets have been going down, then it must be the higher volumes that institutional traders have been selling.

The markets as a whole is leaking paper wealth.
