Bottom line retail inflow call: October strong, November massive, December absolutely insane - easily the three biggest consecutive retail buying months since the 2021 squeeze. We’re in peak FOMO right now. If you’re thinking of ringing the register on some metal, the data says you’re not early - you’re near the top decile of retail panic buying episodes in the last 15 years.
