The stock market of 2024 is quite different from the one present at the turn of the millennium. This is because the internet and consumer technology have made vast sums of information available to anyone willing to learn.

While the pandemic is known for the devastating disease and the lock downs, at the same time, it also put retail investors for the first time on Wall Street's map.

(NYSE:AMC) soar on the stock market as retail investors joined forces on social media and bought the shares in bulk.
