A meme stock is a stock that gains popularity among retail investors through social media.[1][2][3] The popularity of meme stocks is generally based on internet memes shared among traders,[4] on platforms such as Reddit's r/wallstreetbets.[5] Investors in such stocks are often young and inexperienced investors.[6] As a result of their popularity, meme stocks often trade at prices that are above their estimated value – as based on fundamental analysis,[7][8] and are known for being extremely speculative and volatile.[9][10][11]
