There is a new popular movement in Germany. And last year it attracted 2.7 million people. This popular movement is the drive for financial freedom. It manifests itself in a significantly increasing number of shareholders. In 2020, the number of stock savers in Germany climbed to the highest level in two decades. However, knowledge of stocks and stock exchanges in Germany does not seem to have been established yet. Many use the stock market as a vehicle to make the quick euro. It is noticeable that individual stocks are particularly popular with young stockbrokers. A quarter of this investor group only holds shares in their portfolio, a further 17 percent have shares and equity funds. 57 percent of 14 to 39 year olds rely exclusively on funds. But that is dangerous.
