John O'Connell, author of "Rise of the Activist Investor," joins Next Gen Investing from Charles Schwab's 2025 IMPACT to talk about his book. He explains why activist investors are paramount to the stock market by propping up companies with solid fundamentals that got beaten down through other means. John highlights how social media played a central role and tells viewers how they can use A.I. to build their own company analysis if they want to be involved.
