As the hearing continued, he repeated that point under lawmaker questions.</p><p><blockquote>Robinhood首席执行官弗拉德·特涅夫(Vlad Tenev)表示：“与一些极具误导性和高度不知情的报道相反，我们看到证据表明我们的大多数客户都在进行长期投资。”Robinhood是一个受欢迎的交易平台，因暂时限制GameStopGME的交易而引起了大规模关注，-11.43%，AMC EntertainmentAMC，-0.72%和其他几家公司。随着听证会的继续，他在议员的提问下重复了这一点。</blockquote></p><p> “What we see is generally not consistent with popular memes suggesting that most of our brokerage customers are unsophisticated day traders taking inordinate risks with large sums of money on complex financial products,”Tenev wrote in prepared testimony submitted ahead of the hearing,pushing back on the idea that his companyencouraged reckless tradingon a platform with 13 million users.</p><p><blockquote>特涅夫在听证会前提交的准备好的证词中写道：“我们所看到的通常与流行的模因不一致，这些模因表明我们的大多数经纪客户都是不成熟的日内交易者，在复杂的金融产品上投入大量资金承担了过度的风险。”他的公司鼓励在一个拥有1300万用户的平台上进行鲁莽交易的想法。</blockquote></p><p> Just 2% of Robinhood users qualified as “pattern day traders” who made four or more trades within five business days, he said. Thirteen percent traded basic options contracts, which can be higher risk, higher reward than straight-ahead buying or selling.</p><p><blockquote>他说，只有2%的Robinhood用户符合“模式日内交易者”的资格，他们在五个工作日内进行了四笔或更多交易。13%的人交易基本期权合约，这可能比直接买入或卖出风险更高，回报更高。</blockquote></p><p> In the face of some pointed questions, he also insisted Robinhood isn’t trying to turn the user experience into a game. “We know investing is serious and that’s why most of our customers are buy and hold,” he said.</p><p><blockquote>面对一些尖锐的问题，他还坚称Robinhood并没有试图将用户体验变成游戏。“我们知道投资是严肃的，这就是为什么我们的大多数客户都是买入并持有，”他说。</blockquote></p><p> (Before the GameStop saga, Massachusetts state regulators filed a complaint against Robinhood for allegedly making trading seem too fun until loses occur. The company previously said itdisputes the allegation.)</p><p><blockquote>（在游戏驿站事件发生之前，马萨诸塞州监管机构对Robinhood提起诉讼，指控其让交易看起来太有趣，直到发生损失。该公司此前表示对这一指控提出异议。）</blockquote></p><p> Tenev and lawmakershave sparredon what Robinhood should and shouldn’t have done during the GameStop saga. GameStop shares once traded at a high point of $483. By Thursday’s market close, GameStop shares were $40.69.</p><p><blockquote>特涅夫和立法者就罗宾汉在游戏驿站传奇中应该做什么和不应该做什么进行了争论。游戏驿站股价一度交易到483美元的高点。截至周四收盘，游戏驿站股价为40.69美元。</blockquote></p><p> But either way, Tenev’s testimony gave an interesting peek at who the newest retail investors are and how much money they are pouring into the market. After all, retail investors were already increasingly entering the stock market before the GameStop drama started.</p><p><blockquote>但不管怎样，特涅夫的证词让我们有趣地了解了谁是最新的散户投资者以及他们向市场投入了多少资金。毕竟，在游戏驿站大戏开始之前，散户投资者就已经越来越多地进入股市。</blockquote></p><p> Fifty-five percent of Americans directly own stock, according to aGallup surveylast year, while 32% of 18- to 29-year-olds said they owned stock.</p><p><blockquote>根据aGallup去年的调查，55%的美国人直接拥有股票，而18至29岁的人中有32%表示他们拥有股票。</blockquote></p><p> The median age of Robinhood investors is 31 and half of users say they are first-time investors. The median account size is about $240, according to Tenev’s statement, and the average account size is about $5,000.</p><p><blockquote>Robinhood投资者的平均年龄为31岁，一半的用户表示他们是首次投资者。根据Tenev的声明，账户规模中位数约为240美元，平均账户规模约为5,000美元。</blockquote></p><p> The fact that 13% of Robinhood users are trading options gives some advocates pause. Barbara Roper, director of investor protection at the Consumer Federation of America,saidthat “strikes us as a pretty high percentage when you consider the characteristics of Robinhood’s customer base (disproportionately young, first-time investors with small accounts).”</p><p><blockquote>13%的Robinhood用户正在交易期权，这一事实让一些倡导者犹豫了。美国消费者联合会投资者保护主任芭芭拉·罗珀(Barbara Roper)表示，“考虑到Robinhood客户群的特征（不成比例的年轻、账户较小的首次投资者），我们发现这一比例相当高。”</blockquote></p><p> Robinhood investors also tend to be a slightly more racially diverse crowd, according to Tenev’s testimony. Nine percent of users are Black, compared to 3% at other firms and 16% are Hispanic, versus 7% at other firms, according to Tenev’s statement.</p><p><blockquote>根据特涅夫的证词，Robinhood投资者的种族也往往更加多元化。根据Tenev的声明，9%的用户是黑人，而其他公司的这一比例为3%；16%是西班牙裔，而其他公司的这一比例为7%。</blockquote></p><p> “Retail investors making up this new surge are different,” testified Jennifer Schulp, the Cato Institute’s director of financial regulation studies.</p><p><blockquote>卡托研究所金融监管研究主任詹妮弗·舒尔普(Jennifer Schulp)表示：“构成这一新浪潮的散户投资者有所不同。”</blockquote></p><p> Retail investors are nicknamed as“dumb money”on Wall Street, Schulp said. “I think it’s insulting. I think the term needs to go out the window. I think the GameStop situation is proof the retail investors are revolutionizing the market …. I think the retail investors here are learning by doing, which is one of the best ways to learn.”</p><p><blockquote>舒尔普说，散户投资者在华尔街被戏称为“傻钱”。“我认为这是一种侮辱。我认为这个词需要被抛弃。我认为游戏驿站的情况证明散户投资者正在彻底改变市场……我认为这里的散户投资者正在边做边学，这是最好的学习方式之一。”</blockquote></p><p> She pointed to research from theFINRA Investor Education Foundationreleased earlier this month digging into the demographics and account balances of new retail investors.</p><p><blockquote>她指出，FINRA投资者教育基金会本月早些时候发布的研究深入研究了新散户投资者的人口统计数据和账户余额。</blockquote></p><p> One-third of new investors who opened a taxable investment account for the first time in 2020 said they had account balances of less than $500, versus 16% of experienced investors. Twenty-three percent of new investors had account balances up to $2,000. Twenty percent of experienced investors had account balances up to $2,000.</p><p><blockquote>2020年首次开设应税投资账户的新投资者中有三分之一表示，他们的账户余额低于500美元，而经验丰富的投资者这一比例为16%。23%的新投资者的账户余额高达2,000美元。20%有经验的投资者的账户余额高达2,000美元。</blockquote></p><p></p><p> The survey found a more racially diverse set of new investors, with 17% of new investors being Black. Seven percent of experienced investors are Black, the poll said.</p><p><blockquote>调查发现，新投资者的种族更加多元化，17%的新投资者是黑人。调查显示，有经验的投资者中有7%是黑人。</blockquote></p><p> As the hearing continued, some lawmakers questioned whether more guardrails need to be in place, while others said lawmakers shouldn’t condescend to retail investors and assume they know best.</p><p><blockquote>随着听证会的继续，一些议员质疑是否需要设置更多护栏，而另一些议员则表示，议员不应该屈尊于散户投资者，并认为他们最了解。</blockquote></p><p> “Many Americans feel that the system is stacked against them and no matter what, Wall Street always wins,” said Rep. Maxine Waters, who chairs the House Financial Services Committee. “In this instance, many retail investors appeared motivated by a desire to beat Wall Street at its own game and given the losses that many retail investors have sustained as a result of volatility in the system, there are many whose beliefs that the system is rigged against them has been reinforced.”</p><p><blockquote>众议院金融服务委员会主席、众议员Maxine Waters说，“很多美国人觉得这个体系与他们形成了对抗，不管怎么样，华尔街总会赢。”“在这种情况下，许多散户投资者似乎是出于在华尔街自己的游戏中击败华尔街的愿望，考虑到许多散户投资者因系统波动而遭受的损失，许多人认为该系统是针对他们的操纵行为得到了加强。”</blockquote></p><p> The GameStop saga was a “fundamental change,” said Rep. Patrick McHenry, the ranking Republican on the committee. The swell in trading was propelled by social media and a wealth of new information at investors’ fingertips.</p><p><blockquote>该委员会资深共和党众议员Patrick McHenry表示，游戏驿站事件是一个“根本性的变化”。社交媒体和投资者唾手可得的大量新信息推动了交易的激增。</blockquote></p><p> “I think if we’ve learned anything from these past few weeks, it’s that these average everyday investors are pretty darn sophisticated,” McHenry said. “There is wisdom to the crowd.”</p><p><blockquote>麦克亨利说：“我认为，如果说我们从过去几周中学到了什么的话，那就是这些普通的日常投资者非常老练。”“群众有智慧。”</blockquote></p><p> The government needs to make it easier for everyday investors to buy into the market, he said. “Instead of shutting the American public out through new regulations, new forms of taxation or so-called protections, let’s use this opprotunity to side with them.”</p><p><blockquote>他说，政府需要让普通投资者更容易买入市场。“与其通过新法规、新形式的税收或所谓的保护措施将美国公众拒之门外，不如利用这个机会站在他们一边。”</blockquote></p><p> One of the witnesses was Keith Gill, a 34-year-old independent investor with online handles like “Roaring Kitty” who turned his GameStop investment into millions. He made all his investment decisions based on publicly-availabile information, he told Congress.</p><p><blockquote>目击者之一是基思·吉尔(Keith Gill)，他是一位34岁的独立投资者，拥有“咆哮的小猫”等在线账号，他将自己在游戏驿站的投资变成了数百万美元。他告诉国会，他所有的投资决策都是根据公开信息做出的。</blockquote></p><p> “I would be the first to acknowledge that investing in stocks and options is incredibly risky, and it’s so important for people to do their own thorough research before investing,” Gill said. “Folks should be able to freely express their views on a stock, and they should be able to buy or not buy a stock based on those views.”</p><p><blockquote>吉尔说：“我是第一个承认投资股票和期权风险极高的人，人们在投资前进行彻底的研究非常重要。”“人们应该能够自由表达他们对股票的看法，并且他们应该能够根据这些观点购买或不购买股票。”</blockquote></p><p> GameStop shares are up nearly 116% year-to-date. The Dow Jones Industrial Average is up nearly 3% and the S&P 500 is up more than 4% in 2021.</p><p><blockquote>游戏驿站股价今年迄今已上涨近116%。2021年，道琼斯工业平均指数上涨近3%，标普500上涨超过4%。</blockquote></p><p></p>","source":"market_watch","collect":0,"html":"<!DOCTYPE html>\n<html>\n<head>\n<meta http-equiv=\"Content-Type\" content=\"text/html; charset=utf-8\" />\n<meta name=\"viewport\" content=\"width=device-width,initial-scale=1.0,minimum-scale=1.0,maximum-scale=1.0,user-scalable=no\"/>\n<meta name=\"format-detection\" content=\"telephone=no,email=no,address=no\" />\n<title>GameStop hearing challenges assumptions about rookie investors<blockquote>游戏驿站听证会挑战有关新手投资者的假设</blockquote></title>\n<style type=\"text/css\">\na,abbr,acronym,address,applet,article,aside,audio,b,big,blockquote,body,canvas,caption,center,cite,code,dd,del,details,dfn,div,dl,dt,\nem,embed,fieldset,figcaption,figure,footer,form,h1,h2,h3,h4,h5,h6,header,hgroup,html,i,iframe,img,ins,kbd,label,legend,li,mark,menu,nav,\nobject,ol,output,p,pre,q,ruby,s,samp,section,small,span,strike,strong,sub,summary,sup,table,tbody,td,tfoot,th,thead,time,tr,tt,u,ul,var,video{ font:inherit;margin:0;padding:0;vertical-align:baseline;border:0 }\nbody{ font-size:16px; line-height:1.5; color:#999; background:transparent; }\n.wrapper{ overflow:hidden;word-break:break-all;padding:10px; }\nh1,h2{ font-weight:normal; line-height:1.35; margin-bottom:.6em; }\nh3,h4,h5,h6{ line-height:1.35; margin-bottom:1em; }\nh1{ font-size:24px; }\nh2{ font-size:20px; }\nh3{ font-size:18px; }\nh4{ font-size:16px; }\nh5{ font-size:14px; }\nh6{ font-size:12px; }\np,ul,ol,blockquote,dl,table{ margin:1.2em 0; }\nul,ol{ margin-left:2em; }\nul{ list-style:disc; }\nol{ list-style:decimal; }\nli,li p{ margin:10px 0;}\nimg{ max-width:100%;display:block;margin:0 auto 1em; }\nblockquote{ color:#B5B2B1; border-left:3px solid #aaa; padding:1em; }\nstrong,b{font-weight:bold;}\nem,i{font-style:italic;}\ntable{ width:100%;border-collapse:collapse;border-spacing:1px;margin:1em 0;font-size:.9em; }\nth,td{ padding:5px;text-align:left;border:1px solid #aaa; }\nth{ font-weight:bold;background:#5d5d5d; }\n.symbol-link{font-weight:bold;}\n/* header{ border-bottom:1px solid #494756; } */\n.title{ margin:0 0 8px;line-height:1.3;color:#ddd; }\n.meta {color:#5e5c6d;font-size:13px;margin:0 0 .5em; }\na{text-decoration:none; color:#2a4b87;}\n.meta .head { display: inline-block; overflow: hidden}\n.head .h-thumb { width: 30px; height: 30px; margin: 0; padding: 0; border-radius: 50%; float: left;}\n.head .h-content { margin: 0; padding: 0 0 0 9px; float: left;}\n.head .h-name {font-size: 13px; color: #eee; margin: 0;}\n.head .h-time {font-size: 12.5px; color: #7E829C; margin: 0;}\n.small {font-size: 12.5px; display: inline-block; transform: scale(0.9); -webkit-transform: scale(0.9); transform-origin: left; -webkit-transform-origin: left;}\n.smaller {font-size: 12.5px; display: inline-block; transform: scale(0.8); -webkit-transform: scale(0.8); transform-origin: left; -webkit-transform-origin: left;}\n.bt-text {font-size: 12px;margin: 1.5em 0 0 0}\n.bt-text p {margin: 0}\n</style>\n</head>\n<body>\n<div class=\"wrapper\">\n<header>\n<h2 class=\"title\">\nGameStop hearing challenges assumptions about rookie investors<blockquote>游戏驿站听证会挑战有关新手投资者的假设</blockquote>\n</h2>\n<h4 class=\"meta\">\n<p class=\"head\">\n<strong class=\"h-name small\">Marketwatch</strong><span class=\"h-time small\">2021-02-19 11:42</span>\n</p>\n</h4>\n</header>\n<article>\n<p> <b>Robinhood CEO Vlad Tenev discussed average account sizes and user demographics during a congressional hearing on GameStop’s rise and fall.</b> YOLO?

Maybe not quite so.\nDuring the GameStop trading frenzy, some observers worried many rookie retail investors banding together on sites like Reddit’s WallStreetBets would bet big — a so-called “YOLO trade” in the forum’sslang— andend up losing badly.\nNo doubt, this wasa serious event that rocked the stock market, bringing it “dangerously close” to collapse, according to Thomas Peterffy, founder and chairman of Interactive Brokers Group.\nBut at a closely-watched congressional hearing Thursday on the rise and fall of GameStop shares and other so-called “meme stocks,” statements by one of the key players in the trading firestorm revealed that young investors generally aren’t betting big to reap quick gains.\n“Contrary to some very misleading and highly uninformed reports, we see evidence that most of our customers are investing for the long term,” said Vlad Tenev, CEO of Robinhood, the popular trading platform that caughtmassive irefor temporarily restricting trades on GameStopGME,-11.43%,AMC EntertainmentAMC,-0.72%and several other companies. As the hearing continued, he repeated that point under lawmaker questions.\n“What we see is generally not consistent with popular memes suggesting that most of our brokerage customers are unsophisticated day traders taking inordinate risks with large sums of money on complex financial products,”Tenev wrote in prepared testimony submitted ahead of the hearing,pushing back on the idea that his companyencouraged reckless tradingon a platform with 13 million users.\nJust 2% of Robinhood users qualified as “pattern day traders” who made four or more trades within five business days, he said. Thirteen percent traded basic options contracts, which can be higher risk, higher reward than straight-ahead buying or selling.\nIn the face of some pointed questions, he also insisted Robinhood isn’t trying to turn the user experience into a game. “We know investing is serious and that’s why most of our customers are buy and hold,” he said.\n(Before the GameStop saga, Massachusetts state regulators filed a complaint against Robinhood for allegedly making trading seem too fun until loses occur. The company previously said itdisputes the allegation.)\nTenev and lawmakershave sparredon what Robinhood should and shouldn’t have done during the GameStop saga. GameStop shares once traded at a high point of $483. By Thursday’s market close, GameStop shares were $40.69.\nBut either way, Tenev’s testimony gave an interesting peek at who the newest retail investors are and how much money they are pouring into the market. After all, retail investors were already increasingly entering the stock market before the GameStop drama started.\nFifty-five percent of Americans directly own stock, according to aGallup surveylast year, while 32% of 18- to 29-year-olds said they owned stock.\nThe median age of Robinhood investors is 31 and half of users say they are first-time investors. The median account size is about $240, according to Tenev’s statement, and the average account size is about $5,000.\nThe fact that 13% of Robinhood users are trading options gives some advocates pause. Barbara Roper, director of investor protection at the Consumer Federation of America,saidthat “strikes us as a pretty high percentage when you consider the characteristics of Robinhood’s customer base (disproportionately young, first-time investors with small accounts).”\nRobinhood investors also tend to be a slightly more racially diverse crowd, according to Tenev’s testimony. Nine percent of users are Black, compared to 3% at other firms and 16% are Hispanic, versus 7% at other firms, according to Tenev’s statement.\n“Retail investors making up this new surge are different,” testified Jennifer Schulp, the Cato Institute’s director of financial regulation studies.\nRetail investors are nicknamed as“dumb money”on Wall Street, Schulp said. “I think it’s insulting. I think the term needs to go out the window. I think the GameStop situation is proof the retail investors are revolutionizing the market …. I think the retail investors here are learning by doing, which is one of the best ways to learn.”\nShe pointed to research from theFINRA Investor Education Foundationreleased earlier this month digging into the demographics and account balances of new retail investors.\nOne-third of new investors who opened a taxable investment account for the first time in 2020 said they had account balances of less than $500, versus 16% of experienced investors. Twenty-three percent of new investors had account balances up to $2,000. Twenty percent of experienced investors had account balances up to $2,000.\nThe survey found a more racially diverse set of new investors, with 17% of new investors being Black. Seven percent of experienced investors are Black, the poll said.\nAs the hearing continued, some lawmakers questioned whether more guardrails need to be in place, while others said lawmakers shouldn’t condescend to retail investors and assume they know best.\n“Many Americans feel that the system is stacked against them and no matter what, Wall Street always wins,” said Rep. Maxine Waters, who chairs the House Financial Services Committee. “In this instance, many retail investors appeared motivated by a desire to beat Wall Street at its own game and given the losses that many retail investors have sustained as a result of volatility in the system, there are many whose beliefs that the system is rigged against them has been reinforced.”\nThe GameStop saga was a “fundamental change,” said Rep. Patrick McHenry, the ranking Republican on the committee. The swell in trading was propelled by social media and a wealth of new information at investors’ fingertips.\n“I think if we’ve learned anything from these past few weeks, it’s that these average everyday investors are pretty darn sophisticated,” McHenry said. “There is wisdom to the crowd.”\nThe government needs to make it easier for everyday investors to buy into the market, he said. “Instead of shutting the American public out through new regulations, new forms of taxation or so-called protections, let’s use this opprotunity to side with them.”\nOne of the witnesses was Keith Gill, a 34-year-old independent investor with online handles like “Roaring Kitty” who turned his GameStop investment into millions. He made all his investment decisions based on publicly-availabile information, he told Congress.\n“I would be the first to acknowledge that investing in stocks and options is incredibly risky, and it’s so important for people to do their own thorough research before investing,” Gill said. “Folks should be able to freely express their views on a stock, and they should be able to buy or not buy a stock based on those views.”\nGameStop shares are up nearly 116% year-to-date. The Dow Jones Industrial Average is up nearly 3% and the S&P 500 is up more than 4% in 2021.","news_type":1,"symbols_score_info":{"GME":0.9}},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":325,"commentLimit":10,"likeStatus":false,"favoriteStatus":false,"reportStatus":false,"symbols":[],"verified":2,"subType":0,"readableState":1,"langContent":"EN","currentLanguage":"EN","warmUpFlag":false,"orderFlag":false,"shareable":true,"causeOfNotShareable":"","featuresForAnalytics":[],"commentAndTweetFlag":false,"andRepostAutoSelectedFlag":false,"upFlag":false,"length":23,"xxTargetLangEnum":"ORIG"},"commentList":[],"isCommentEnd":true,"isTiger":false,"isWeiXinMini":false,"url":"/m/post/360658145"}
