The past year has created an interesting market dynamic. It reminds me of the movies A Bug's Life. I understand if that one doesn't ring a bell. It wasn't one of Pixar's best offerings but there's an interesting lesson in the movie.
For as long as the ants (protagonists) can remember, they collected food for the grasshoppers (antagonists). Each year, the grasshoppers fly in, eat the food, then leave. If the ants don't do it, the grasshoppers tell them they will be punished. Eventually, the ants realize they significantly outnumber the grasshoppers. If they band together, they can take down the grasshoppers.
Take that same idea and replace ants with retail traders (like us) and grasshoppers with institutions and market makers.
There's been an awakening. A large group of retail traders have realized if they work together, using market tools such as out-of-the-money call options or low-float stocks, they can overpower any institution or short-seller in the world, outside of the Fed, of course.
