2025 is called the Year of the Retail Investor's Victory by many investors. Based on the discussion popularity on social media platforms and actual price increases, this statement is indeed supported by data.

As of now, the top ten hottest stocks with the highest annual gains are: Rocket Lab(RKLB) surged by 209%, Robinhood(HOOD) increased by 205%, Palantir(PLTR) rose by 158%. Following are AMD with a 78% increase, and Alphabet(GOOGL) with a 65% rise. Reddit's own stock increased by 36%, Tesla(TSLA) modestly rose by 27%, Walmart(WMT) increased by 24%, and Meta increased by 11%. The only decline was MicroStrategy(MSTR), which fell by 47%, mainly due to the downturn in Bitcoin.

Interestingly, looking at the top ten most关注ed targets by retail investors this year, some interesting investment preferences can be observed. Satellite communication company AST SpaceMobile ranks first, followed by space industry companies like Rocket Lab. Amazon and Google continue to generate significant revenue, and AI-related stocks like Nebius are soaring in popularity. Reddit itself is also on the hot关注 list, along with Micron(MU) for memory chips, Iris Energy's Bitcoin mining and AI data center business, SoFi's financial services for young people, and POET Technologies' photonic chip technology.

From these data, it can be seen that retail investors' investment logic is very clear: space industry, AI chips, fintech, and cryptocurrency-related industries have become new focal points. The trend has shifted, and opportunities are coming along with it.
