Some stocks are rising due to meme stocks. Here’s why.

GameStop stock is still wiping out the wave of Reddit’s community, WallStreetBets, and sits at $ 325 a share on Saturday, after the market closes. Reddit users struggle with Wall Street to raise GameStop’s share prices while Wall Street expected a collapse. Small investors use Reddit communities to drive ‘meme stocks’, causing short sales and short pressures. And it’s not just GameStop. Other companies, such as AMC and Nokia, was also affected by the coordinated boom.
No, that does not mean you have to give up everything and invest fully in the shares of the moment. Some call the market manipulation a “Ponzi scheme,” and the share price is likely to disappear once the hullabaloo dies.
In fact, broker TD Ameritrade limited trading of the GameStop and AMC shares Wednesday and continues to post a letter of advice to clients on market volatility. Trading app Robinhood followed suit on Thursday in response to runaway growth – the company got himself in trouble by restricting stock trading and will be carefully reviewed by the SEC (it is now limited purchases on AMC and GameStop shares). The White House said it was monitoring the situation.

Part of what is so unusual about the GameStop stock is the vocabulary used to drive the trading action. Elon Musk, founder of Tesla and SpaceX, helped fuel the activity on Tuesday with a one-tweet word: “Gamestonk. ”
What is a stench, and what does it have to do with trade? Here is an example of the lingo behind the enormous highlights and what the terms mean:
- Stonks: A deliberate misspelling of shares. Sometimes it contains Meme Man when used in a meme (see below).
- Diamond hands: If a trader is willing to hold their shares or securities for a long time.
- Rockets: If someone wants the share price to skyrocket.
- Keep the line: Hold on to a stock, even if it drops in value.
- “We like the stock”: A meme used for a current inventory.
Stonks are often associated with Meme Man, pictured.
