Following which the actions that Reddit’s WallStreetBets crowd are talking about paid off in 2021 as several went through epic rallies and escalated

volatility

.

From GameStop to AMC Entertainment, the forum of more than 11 million members has fueled the conversation about so-called meme stocks that have exploded amid overwhelming demand from retail investors. The surge in stocks with fragile fundamentals has led to several hedge fund outbursts that have been taken on the opposite side of the trade bet against the company in question.

GameStop’s short squeeze, driven in part by the WallStreetBets crowd, caused multibillion-dollar hedge fund Melvin Capital to drop more than 50%. Meanwhile, the strong recovery of struggling movie theater chain AMC Entertainment caused short sellers billions of dollars in losses in May and June.

But since those short cuts caused the destruction of some short sellers, shares of GameStop and AMC Entertainment have fallen about 60% from their highs as investors begin to grapple with the fundamental backdrop behind the businesses.
