I'd guess that most retirement funds are not invested in hedge funds. It's just too risky.

The problem now is that the Game Stop game has destabilized the entire market - including bond funds, which usually are a stable refuge for investors.

And I wonder if this Games Stop nonsense is being orchestrated by Trump supporters, who would love nothing better than to have the markets crash during the Biden presidency.
