(Jan 26): Retail investors who netted billions in the legendary pandemic bull market are getting schooled on stock volatility at long last, as the rates-fueled rout resumes. Now the selloff has resumed with the S&P 500 falling as much as 2.8% in the Tuesday session before paring losses. “The current crop of retail investors came into the markets during a period of QE, zero percent interest rates, and there-is-no-alternative,” said Matthew Tuttle, chief executive officer at Tuttle Capital Management LLC. At the same time, JPMorgan Chase & Co. strategists led by Marko Kolanovic continued to urge investors to buy the dip. According to a recent survey of global retail investors from eToro, roughly a quarter of the respondents have been investing for two years or less.
