If you have any sense you would ramp rockhopper on this platform its what they can afford. Robinhood investors have a new favourite oil stock. If COVID has solidified one thing, it is that playing the market must be democratic. And as always in a democracy, people get what they deserve: That means we are seeing tons of amateur investors pour into the market, skewing sentiment away from fundamentals. Much of that goes down on the fee-free Robinhood trading app, whose median user age is 31, but with college kids increasingly jumping on board. And whether they know anything at all about oil-or even markets in general-they have decided that when it comes to hydrocarbons, they love Marathon Oil (NYSE: MRO). On March 9th, there were 10,078 Robinhood users holding Marathon stock. Within a single day, there were 18,564. By June 22nd, there were 206,877 users holding MRO. That is some serious crowd-gathering. ?So, is it just straight-up parroting going on here, or is there a method to the madness?Is Marathon really that great? Should it be the Robinhood user's number one oil and gas stock?First of all, consider that Wall Street is growing increasingly critical of these amateur investors who are such a large force that they have the power to drive the market and render fundamentals irrelevant-at least temporarily. They are like the catwalk of stock traders: fashion over fundamentals. They have been making all kinds of contrarian moves since the pandemic, including buying tons of stock in bankrupt companies like Hertz and JCPenney and betting on airlines at a time when legendary investors such as Warren Buffett were divesting-fast. They even bet on cruise lines during a near-global lockdown. Related: Iranian Oil Exports Much Higher Than Official Data SuggestsMarathon is different, though. Marathon is not a bankrupt company, nor is it an overtly contrarian play. So, what gives, and why is it more popular than, say, ExxonMobil?The simple--and likely only-answer is that it is a cheap stock, so the 30-something and younger investors can afford it, even though Robinhood does now offer fractional shares. The reasoning of the amateur investors is often this: "I need to diversify my portfolio, which means holding at least one oil and gas stock, and this is the only major I can afford." It is as simple as that.

Another tactic the girls use is to multi post as username laticsdon'trule has just done, to cover up and hide the posts! They do this when they are losing a debate, they don't want the evidence to be seen!.. Simples!... :-)

I would say there p#ssed that people think this might actually happen after such a long time and people have the chance to get in at such a low price.
