The U.S. stock market made headlines in 2020. Its performance under pandemic conditions took many market participants by surprise.
New players joined the market. A new generation of investors suddenly has access to cheap commissions as the brokerage industry in the United States changed dramatically. Nowadays, you do not need to own a full share of a stock, as the broker allows you to own only a fraction of it.
Moreover, robo-advisory services automate the investing process, making it even easier for the retail trader to join the market. However who owns U.S. stocks, and are there more investors that may join in the future?
