Abstract: With the emergence of a globalized economy, the global financial system has ostensibly become the world’s most powerful institutional network. Because of its far reaching geopolitical and socioeconomic impact, bad actors have continuously sought to undermine its integrity and capitalize on its esoteric framework. In recent years however, a fervent retail investor movement has emerged that utilizes crowdsourced investment tactics to advance financial justice. By applying the hacker mindset, we too can leverage the same tools and methods used by powerful institutional investors to minimize financial risks and level the financial playing field. Information is power.
