What Wall Street Still Gets Wrong About Retail Investors

From Cheddar.

Wall Street still underestimates the modern retail investor… and Jaime Rogozinski knows exactly why. On this episode of Big Business This Week, JD Durkin sits down with the founder of WallStreetBets and Chief Strategy Officer at Wire Network to unpack how retail trading has evolved since the meme-stock era. From shifting risk appetites and smarter speculation to the growing influence of AI, crypto, and prediction markets, Rogozinski explains where institutional narratives miss the mark. They also explore how platforms like Robinhood are reshaping access to markets and what that means for investor behavior. As markets head toward 2026, this discussion challenges outdated assumptions about who’s really moving today’s markets and why retail investors still matter.
