Too Long; Didn't Read
I’ve been with Public for more than 3.5 years and have seen a lot of different “eras” of the retail investing phenomenon—increased interest post-Covid, the mainstreamification of investing throughout 2021, and market volatility in 2022 into 2023. What we’ve seen among our members is that these major market moments provide actionable lessons for investors when they have the right context. For example, you may not think the average retail investor cares about fiscal and monetary policy, but our data shows that 42% of U.S. investors reported being more interested in fiscal and monetary policy since becoming a retail investor, and our recent breaking news shows following the Fed’s moves are among our most-streamed content ever.
