Svmuu News: Scott Rubner, an analyst at Castle Securities, noted that since the beginning of this year, retail investors have been “buying the dip” at a record pace. Data compiled by Rubner shows that on days when the S&P 500 index fell, retail investors’ buying volume was nearly 3.5 times the daily average; “buying on dips” has become the preferred strategy for retail investors in the first half of 2026. This represents the strongest “buy-the-dip” activity since the firm began tracking such data in 2020, surpassing even the record set in 2021 during the “meme stock” craze. (Jin Shi)
