Small investors have come up big in U.S. stocks this year: Chart of the Day

Dear Chart of the Day Fan:

Here’s my chart for today. I’ll talk about it shortly after 3:30 p.m. Eastern (12:30 p.m. Pacific) on the Bloomberg Businessweek radio show. Also, I’ll present my Stock of the Day just after 4:05 p.m. (1:05 p.m.) on the radio and later on social media. You can hear me on Bloomberg Radio or see me at Bloomberg Global News on YouTube. Earlier charts are on my Tumblr page.

Thanks for your interest. It’s appreciated.

Small investors in U.S. stocks left hedge funds and mutual funds behind this year as the presidential election unfolded, according to Goldman Sachs Group Inc. indexes. The firm’s gauge of stocks favored by individuals closed Tuesday with a 42% gain for 2020, Goldman’s index of hedge-fund picks added 23% with dividends included, while the firm’s basket of mutual-fund favorites rose just 2.7%. The latter failed to keep pace with the Russell 3000 Index, which added 4.9%, based on data compiled by Bloomberg.
