Teens are swarming TikTok to talk about how to start investing thanks to the GameStop frenzy

As of publication, #investing had 1.5 billion views and #gamestop has over 380 million views, while the even more recent hashtag — #buyinggamestop — had over a quarter million on the TikTok app.

One TikToker, a high school student who runs the account @assetentities, has seen views and followers climb as news of GameStop stocks spread over the past week. "Engagement on TikTok has been insane," the user told Insider."I've been getting messages on Instagram and TikTok of people asking me to help them start investing."from $35 to $325 per share between January 20 to 27, people have been finding creative ways to explain on social media how amateur traders buoyed a struggling company to an 8,000% stock value increase from previous months.

The classic tale of wall street hedge fund investors versus an army of traders, some from forums like Reddit or Discord, has made for a compelling narrative for the younger generation.

According to BofA, the younger generations will push the stock market away from more classical institutions to focus on new technology, sustainability, and climate change efforts.
