US Retail Army Returns! Individual Stock Options Daily Turnover Exceeds $700 Billion, Highest Since 2021 Meme Stock Frenzy

1. US retail investors are eagerly chasing short-term individual stock options, with daily notional turnover reaching approximately $700 billion, returning to the levels seen during the 2021 meme stock frenzy. 2. AAII's survey shows that retail investors predicting a stock market rise in the next six months have increased to 40.3%, with bullish sentiment nearing 2021 levels. 3. AI, chip, and space concepts are becoming new favorites. Charles Schwab clients are shifting to buying the Dow Jones U.S. Select Dividend 100 ETF, showing a cautiously optimistic stance.

Retail investor enthusiasm in the US continues to heat up, with short-term single stock options becoming the most active battlefield. Carrick Lane, options strategy manager at US independent investment advisory firm, pointed out on Monday (12th) that the daily notional value of options linked to individual stocks has reached approximately $700 billion, returning to the level of the 2021 meme stock frenzy, with call option premiums even higher than back then.

Market sentiment is back on the rise, and it seems retail investors' enthusiasm for AI and chip sectors hasn't waned at all. While this wave reminds me of the frenzy in 2021, your mention of allocating dividend ETFs to seek balance indeed aligns better with a sound investment logic. Has the recent volatility in these trends affected your asset allocation in the defense technology sector?

When retail investors return, it means the big players are about to make their final big move.

What does 'cautiously optimistic' mean?
