Reddit user on the rise of retail investors (2021)

This is a big moment.  A tug-of-war between tradition and the future.  Hedge fund managers live in the past, and continue to look down upon the retail investors.  They truly believe that we, the average retail investors, don't know anything about finances or the market (which may be true), and we're just gambling our money away.  This is the world they want to live in.  This was the past.
