Someone posts an article about meme trading in 2021, and you decided to write a comment about the trading environment in the 1970s?
OK.
By the way, I bought my first stock in 1962.
Holiday Inn (HIA), ten shares, at $11 a share.
I was responding to someone who had a question about how things worked before 1990. I hope that clears that up for you.
You must be older than I am by a few years, good for you. I thought I was the only dark ages trader left!
