Reddit stocks were mostly lower Thursday while the frenzy behind the rally in the likes of AMC Entertainment and GameStop shows signs of extending beyond social-media buzz.
Bank of America analysts also ranked Reddit stocks in order of mentions in the top 100 posts on WallStreetBets over the last week.
In the process, they also found total discussion across all Reddit stocks on the influential forum hasn't grown recently, with mentions of AMC stock and GME stock below highs seen early this year.
"In addition, our proxy for retail demand for equity call options has barely moved the past two weeks. This suggests others beyond just Reddit users may be driving up the stocks," BofA analysts wrote.
AMC stock fell nearly 5% to 47.10 on the stock market today. GME stock tumbled 14% after announcing another share offering and disclosing an SEC probe.

In addition, World Wrestling Entertainment has also seen high short interest and joined the Reddit stocks list for the first time.
While the stocks have notched several new highs and created wealth for many investors, they're not traditional CAN SLIM stocks. Many of them have weak fundamentals and don't yet deserve their high valuation.
