now most agree that retail investors are driving the pace of things. Trump says look at the stock price. that is his one indicator. as long as that’s up, he has votes from retirees.

Retail is a rounding error they don't make markets IMO

That's not the widely held sentiment any more, I'm pretty sure! I suggest three bellwether assets: Tesla Bitcoin Hertz!

Most people just own vangaurd or similar and DCA into total market funds. The day trading stuff is a sideshow.

I really think market dynamics have changed. You're telling me stuff that was conventional wisdom months ago, but I think wasn't true then and is extremely not true now. But you speak with certainty, so I wonder if you have data.

up a lot in percentage terms from a base of total retail trading about 6% of market volume. rounding error.

See, again, I think that's mistaken. As @LAForeverHall would say, narrative matters most. If it drives trading on particular stocks, particularly those who have gone bankrupts, that has profound effects. If you round out retail trading, you're missing a huge amount of signal.

Ignoring retail, permabears and filtering out most of the noise is how I outperform by a lot. Going with or even against the herd always gives me garbage returns. But hey if you make % gains that's all that matters, more power to how you can do it the only rule is don't lose $.
