You can invest for free on nearly every trading platform now. If you have any disposable income to save in a savings account(which I am fully aware is the big IF), there is no reason that money can’t be invested in the market. That’s exactly why the market is doing so well.

I'm skeptical that new retail investors are having such a big impact, but if there's data available then I could be convinced.

If it is true though, then I don't see how it can last with so many of these new investor now being unemployed and losing the $600 a week.
