But at least one money expert is sounding the alarm that some investors may be overexposed to individual stocks. For investors, the market environment has been "a bit of a two-edged sword," according to JJ Kinahan, chief market strategist at TD Ameritrade. "In this sort of environment, this is when we do tend to see some of the newer, inexperienced investors get burned," Benz said.

The Federal Reserve reports that the richest 10% of households own some 88% of all equities in individual hands. This means the long-running story of boomers dumping their portfolios en masse on to the market and depressing equity values is mostly a red herring. Those are not enormous totals in the context of a $30 trillion U.S. equity market, but represent a persistent and strengthening undertow of selling in the market.

But it helps explain the slow leakage of cash out of equity funds in recent years, illustrated here since the start of 2018.

Wary of the optics and the fallout, Bell, who is Black, heeded the advice of his girlfriend. (She told me) Youre going to make a lot more impact with your platform than going to this riot right now. Thats something that could change your career in a heartbeat.And not the kind of change the 27-year-old All-Star from Texas wants to impart. I feel like social justice is something that a lot of people are learning right now, Bell said. It's made going to work far easier than it might have been if he'd just silently seethed.
