Following which stocks Reddit's WallStreetBets crowd is talking about this year has paid off, as several have gone through epic rallies and seen heightened volatility.
From GameStop in January to AMC Entertainment in June, the 11 million-member forum has driven the conversation in so-called meme stocks that have exploded higher amid overwhelming demand from retail investors. Strong demand for stocks with shaky fundamentals has led to several hedge fund blowups that were caught on the opposite side of the trade betting against the company in question.
GameStop's short-squeeze, in-part led by the WallStreetBets crowd, led to a more than 50% drawdown in multibillion dollar hedge fund Melvin Capital. Meanwhile, the sharp rally in struggling movie theater chain AMC Entertainment caused billions of dollars in losses for short-sellers in May and June.
