What happens to stocks if AI loses momentum?
Investing.com -- Retail investors have resumed buying activity in S&P 500 and Nasdaq 100 stocks in recent weeks, expanding their focus from meme stocks to large-cap names, according to Goldman Sachs.
Data from Goldman’s electronic trading desk shows that among the 25 most-traded shares by retail investors are not only popular names like Palantir, AMD and EA, but also established blue-chip companies including UPS, MSCI, Warner Brothers and Albemarle.
"Given the pickup in retail trading, we see the potential for elevated upside asymmetry in stocks with high retail participation in the coming weeks," said a team led by John Marshall at Goldman Sachs.
The broadening retail interest suggests individual investors are diversifying their portfolios beyond the speculative meme stocks that previously dominated their trading activity.
