A confluence of factors has come together to bring about some of the worst and most value-destroying behavior by individual investors, also known as retail investors, in history. Newly granted access to high-risk markets, the appearance of zero-cost investing, historic levels of credit extended to nonprofessional traders, and an absence of other outlets for risk-taking behavior have all combined to produce a situation where many retail investors are losing money hand over fist in volatile and opaque markets they don’t fully understand.We are beginning to see this destructive behavior play out in the data. For futures markets, something normally only accessed until recently by institutional investors, we have seen average daily volume in overnight trading nearly double in the first three months of 2020 for the E-mini S&P 500 futures contract (a security specially designed to attract retail investors due to its lower cost than the total S&P 500 contract). In the equally high-risk options markets, average monthly trading volumes jumped 58%between January and March of this year.
Información Robert Koch Institute fecha de ayer, situación Alemania ( sin segundas derivadas)The number of incident cases estimated using the nowcasting approach is presented as a moving 4-day average to compensate for random effects of individual days. With this approach, the point estimate of R for a given day is estimated as the quotient of the number of incident cases on this day divided by the number of incident cases four days earlier. The current estimate is R= 1.07 (95% prediction interval: 0.88- 1.29) and is based on electronically notified cases as of 11/05/2020, 12:00 AM.Since 09.05.2020, the estimate of the reproduction number R is greater than 1.
