The stock market has turned into a get rich quick scheme in the minds of many retail investors. The WallStreetBets subreddit isn't helping. They even made the cover of Bloomberg recently. People with little to no financial education see someone make +5,000% returns with a lucky trade or options contracts, and it becomes hard to resist the pull. WSB is the 39th most active subreddit today. At the beginning of the lockdown I overheard two people on the street - likely not finance professionals - chatting casually about stocks. That triggered a red flag in my head. If stock trading becomes a mass popular hobby, like video games and movies, I have a nagging feeling that people are in for a rude awakening.
