Despite the dire economic reality that millions of Americans face today, the stock market has been on a tear. Intervention by the Fed and strong performance by tech companies helped the market rebound quickly. Plus, the election of Joe Biden as our next president and the development of COVID-19 vaccines has investors more hopeful than ever that things will return to normal soon.
That’s great news for investors who had skin in the game and enjoyed major returns as the stock market rebounded from its March low. But the average person without a big portfolio or high income might be wondering how they can get in on the surge in stock values, too.
