00:00The mean stock army just went global, and this time it's taking over the trillion-dollar AI
00:05market. Facing threats from job insecurity and the record high home prices, middle-class
00:11households have ditched traditional safe investing norms and are going after big returns. Take a
00:17look at South Korea's Cosby since the start of the year. Foreign institutional investors have
00:22done more than $100 billion of holdings, while retail traders have been moving in to fill the
00:28void. Why? The pros see too much risk packed into a handful of AI names, so they diversify early.
00:35Everyday traders, on the other hand, aren't worried about just a handful of stocks dominating their
00:39portfolios. Some are even amplifying their gains with leveraged ETFs, create volatility, and spurring
00:46warnings from regulators. Wall Street thought the 2021 mean stock craze was a temporary glitch.
00:52It wasn't. This time, David is beating Goliath again, and Goliath is being forced to
00:58rethink what an optimal portfolio looks like. Wall Street calls it financial nihilism, but facing
01:04pressure from a hyperinflated economy, retail investors are realizing that to buy your freedom,
01:09you have to take some risks. So, who's the real smart money now?
