Swarmpower, democratisation of the stock market hoodie

The late 2010s and early 2020s have seen the rise of a new power in financial markets: the retail investor. Starting with ETFs and the Green Movement, the investor with moderate means has moved into Wall Street alongside the "Masters of the Universe". They have beaten the pros during the Corona crisis at their own game by sheer optimism and playfulness. They have organised into informal swarms via social media and take on mighty hedge funds. And they have suceeded and made the headlines. They are here to stay and baffle bulls and bears alike.
