Do Retail Investors Face an Information Disadvantage?

Institutional investors have access to research, order flow data, and direct market feeds that retail investors simply don’t. But does this create a significant edge, or can retail traders still compete? I’m researching how different investor types navigate **information asymmetry in markets**. I’d love to hear your thoughts: • Have you ever felt at an informational disadvantage compared to institutions? • Do you think retail investors are improving their access to high-quality market data? • Are there any specific moments where you felt big players had access to market-moving information before you? I’m also conducting a **short survey** on this topic. If you’re interested in contributing, let me know, and I’ll share the link in the comments.
