Sad Days in Sherwood Forest

As I have been warning, Hertz stock is worth nothing. Today it is back down to $1.20 after being as high as $6.50.

To show you how retail investors buy high and sell low, here is the cumulative loses for Robinhood traders (Assuming 100 shares per position) for 2020.

Cumulative Gain/Loss (assuming 100 shares) of RobinHood Users and No. of Positions

You can see the cumulative loses are now approaching $50 million at a minimum. Of course, the good news is the most that can be lost now is another $15 million or so.

The bottom line is this behavior is pervasive with retail investors and why the average 401k earns way less than the averages.
