Jan 30 (Reuters) - Individual investors responded to the

market selloff earlier this week triggered by concerns regarding

a Chinese artificial intelligence startup by buying a wide array

of technology stocks, according to data released by Vanda

Research on Wednesday.

Retail investors poured one out of every three dollars of

their investments into Nvidia ( NVDA ) shares in the first days

of this week when the AI chipmaker suffered a record one-day

loss in market value, according to market tracking firm Vanda.

It also reported retail investors were eager purchasers of

Tesla, Broadcom ( AVGO ) and Apple ( AAPL ). Investors

also snapped up tech-focused exchange-traded funds like the

Invesco QQQ Trust and a leveraged ETF offering three

times the daily return of the Nasdaq 100 Index.

"This buy-the-dip opportunity is proving to be too

attractive for individual investors to pass up on," said the

VandaTrack report's authors, Marco Iachini, the firm's senior

vice president, and Lucas Mantle, vice president.

In total, Vanda estimated that between Friday and the

market's close on Tuesday, traders poured roughly $4.25 billion

of new capital into U.S. financial markets.

That boosted the trailing five-day retail inflow average to

about $1.3 billion a day, levels not seen since the immediate

aftermath of the U.S. presidential election in November.
