The study said four in five gen z investors. I wonder how many of those gen z investors maybe bought a little crypto along the way when it was a fad.

Or got Robin Hood account and deposited minimum amount of money to speculate on whatever...

Yes, thats what they mean by "investing". I don't consider meme stocks investing, but I'm a grumpy Gen Xer.

That's because it's not investing, it's speculating at best, and usually just gambling. Investing is just another word we've lost in recent years from people trying to justify to themselves that they aren't acting like fucking idiots.

Reminds me of Carlin's bit about the softening of language.
