Retail investors are crushing Wall Street:

Stocks most favored by retail investors outperformed those most favored by mutual funds by 16 percentage points in May, the largest gap since data began in 2018.

The retail favorite stock basket covers mega-cap tech names, including the Magnificent 7 and semiconductor stocks.

This follows a 14-point outperformance seen in April, making it the 2-month largest gap on record.

This also exceeds the previous 13 percentage point record seen in late 2020, during the early stages of the meme stock mania.

Meanwhile, the total amount of money spent on semiconductor options contracts by retail investors is up to 4.9 TIMES the historical monthly average, the highest on record.

This is also ~25% above the prior record set in March 2024.

Retail investors are loving this market.
