According to something called a Pew Research survey based on Feb 2024 data, 42% of men aged 18-29 have invested in, traded, or used cryptocurrency compared with 17% of women in the same age range.

Earning reports will be coming out and retail stocks are now difficult to play. ** Scroll up to the top left and press the three line icon to read my previous blog on electric cars.
