They are extremely afraid!
The average investor or “retail investor” has a big advantage, it seems if retail investors band together, they can change the market or play the market better than the big guns. It’s only called manipulation when the big guns lose, right?
I’m watching CNBC and learning that the retail investor is causing disruption. My sense is the big guns don’t like that you’ve found out how to beat them at their own game! This is very interesting in many ways. It’s almost like “we the people” are fighting back!
