In April, when the stock market plummeted due to tariffs, bringing the S&amp;P 500 close to a bear market, retail investors bought stocks at a record pace. Now, as the S&amp;P 500 approaches the 20% rebound threshold and is about to enter a technical bull market, retail investors are also enjoying this rebound. Meanwhile, institutional investors, referred to as &#34;smart money,&#34; have largely remained on the sidelines.In response to Moody's downgrade, most strategists on Wall Street did not express excessive concern on Monday, but instead advised clients to continue buying stocks on dips. Morgan Stanley strategist Michael Wilson stated that the market pullback triggered by Moody's downgrade is an opportunity to buy U.S. stocks, as the risk of economic recession has decreased following the tariff truce agreement between China and the U.S. Max Kettner, head of multi-asset strategy at HSBC, also mentioned that his team views any decline in risk assets as an opportunity to increase investments.Vincent Lorusso, CEO and investment manager at Clough Capital Partners, believes that,<blockquote>&#34;In the context of declining inflation and healthy balance sheets for both businesses and consumers, retail investors are making intuitively correct choices by allocating capital to the most attractive risk-adjusted returns. They are sharp enough to identify these investment opportunities.&#34;</blockquote>According to JP Morgan data, on Monday, retail investors' buying power in individual stocks reached $2.5 billion, while the buying scale for exchange-traded funds (ETFs) was $1.5 billion. Among them, Tesla and Palantir were the most favored, attracting net inflows of $675 million and $439 million, respectively. In addition, retail investors also actively increased their holdings in Bitcoin-related ETFs, but continued to reduce their positions in Nvidia.Risk Warning and DisclaimerThe market has risks, and investment should be cautious.
