Yikes - can't read the article, it's paywalled, and don't really want to as the tweet is enough -
Ella Gupta made her first investment when she was 10. With the help of her parents, she took half the profits of her bracelet-making business and invested in the stock market. https://t.co/3Xo5kz0Wp3
Gen Z-ers are the first generation to be born into a world where social media use is the norm, which means their investment thinking is heavily influenced by peers. “Peer-to-peer learning is very powerful,” says Gupta. https://t.co/3Xo5kz0Wp3
Gen Z survey respondents say they learned about investing online, with just under half saying they learned on YouTube or through other videos. About a third credited TikTok for their newfound knowledge. https://t.co/3Xo5kz0Wp3
But Gen Z-ers are also learning that a bear market can point out the dangers of groupthink as meme stocks crater, crypto crashes, and other assets amped up by online investment influencers fall to earth again. https://t.co/VnsJtLjgV2
