The ease with which retail investors can trade equity securities has risen dramatically this year. The increasing popularity of fintech trading apps like Robinhood—which allow investors to trade quickly on their smartphones—and the availability of zero trading commissions at traditional brokerage houses have made it easier for the average investor to trade equity securities. Market makers such as Citadel Securities (a division of Citadel LLC) report that retail traders now account for about one-fifth of stock market trading and as much as one-fourth of trading on the most active days.

One of my least favorite things about prognosticators, whether it be sports, investments or Oscar favorites, is that when people make predictions, they only bring them up again when they are right. It is rare when people look back and say, “Wow, was I wrong. You definitely shouldn’t have listened to me.” Well, I’m not a prognosticator, but I am here to shake up that trend and grab my fork to eat some crow.
