Overall, trading has doubled. “Double with retail being a greater percentage of that double in the marketplace,” one analyst said. And data shows that a majority of the new retail investors on the scene are much younger, too. “We expect another uptick in retail activity with another round of stimulus, though the level will likely depend on the type of stimulus (broad-based or targeted), the market backdrop at the time, as well as any potential regulatory changes discussed over the coming weeks,” Bank of America analysts continued.

LIFE HACKS
Replacing your laptop’s traditional disk drive with a newer solid-state drive is one of the best upgrades you can make. Solid-state drives are much faster than older-style hard drives and can speed up a computer that’s struggling when it comes to storage. But how do you keep all of your files and data when swapping out the hard drive? When making the upgrade on a desktop, you usually install the new drive next to the old one and clone your data. But with a laptop, the process is a bit trickier. One of the first things you need to do is save everything you want to keep in cloud storage. That way, you can install a fresh copy of your operating system but still keep your most important files. If you want to do a complete clone of your original hard drive, you’ll need a cloning kit. But don’t worry, most electronics stores and computer shops sell them!

LEARNING FROM THE PAST
 Image Source: Twitter Teddy bears are the epitome of stuffed animals here in the United States. So, it might be a little hard to imagine that teddy bears have only been a part of the American experience for 118 years. That’s 118 years exactly, as of today. And when they first arrived, they took our nation by storm. “On February 15, 1903, toy store owner and inventor Morris Michtom places two stuffed bears in his shop window, advertising them as Teddy bears. Michtom had earlier petitioned President Theodore Roosevelt for permission to use his nickname, Teddy. The president agreed and, before long, other toy manufacturers began turning out copies of Michtom’s stuffed bears, which soon became a national childhood institution.”
