Be careful what you wish for, even $BLIAQ is making a 9 cent jump today.

Millennial Movement Gains Steam

Even as ‘digital transformation’ makes BigTech stronger than ever, the Millennial investor who is inheriting Boomer money has its own ideas about what stocks are worthy.

Call it nostalgia, call it being retro. The Wallstreetbets movement might turn into something else.

So in this retro trend, $BLIAQ is up 170% today and it could go higher if this takes off. Certainly it’s sure to attract some bears.

If this revenge of the stonks story keeps going, the variety of volatility will be of the crowd and the SEC might even have to step in. However for now, this is a very attractive gambling position. Don’t underestimate the Millennial crowd investor.

Robinhood didn’t just gamify investing, they created a movement (with WeBull). Some of these young investors will make serious money. The problem? Well just a few things like herd mentality, confirmation bias, gambler’s fallacy and loss aversion. But hey a trend like this can’t just be undone, it is a movement.

For that reason this is an attractive position for a few hours and or days. The gamification of trading multiplied by social media amplification compounded by Fed stimulus is really quite an extraordinary set or circumstances. The key behavioral economics trend however is something deeply embedded in human nature, herd mentality greed.

If it doesn’t go straight up, it’s not a stonk. The game never ends, the retro stonks are real.
