Hi everyone!!! I personally believe that investing in meme stocks, can be very risky. These stocks often experience extreme price volatility and can be driven more by speculation and sentiment rather than underlying fundamentals. Here are two reasons why I dont invest in meme stocks:
1. Risk and Volatility: Meme stocks can experience rapid and unpredictable price fluctuations.
This can lead to significant gains, but also substantial losses. Investing in such stocks can be akin to gambling, and it's important to only invest money that vou can afford to lose.
2. Lack of Fundamental Basis: Meme stocks often have little connection to the actual financial performance of the companies behind them. The stock prices may be driven by factors such as online hype, social media posts, and coordinated trading efforts. Thats my 2 cents! //@MillionaireTiger:

Meme Stock Mania Continues

Meme stocks:

Those stocks that gain popularity through discussions on community forums or/and social media platforms are known as Meme Stocks. The prices of these stocks skyrocket because of a sudden increase in popularity or awareness on social media. These short-term surges are likely to reverse quickly, thus, making them more volatile as compared to other stocks. The most common characteristics of meme stocks are:
  1. Experience rapid growth in a short span of time

  2. Highly volatile

  3. Generally overpriced

Most notable is $Tupperware(TUP)$, which has rallied nearly 900% from its lows set two weeks ago. The stock is squeezing on seemingly no news, and it’s still unclear when the company plans to file its delayed annual and quarterly reports. And yet, with short interest above 20% of its outstanding float, a short-covering rally is underway. 

Similarly, other names are following suit. Like the 99-year-old trucking company $Yellow Corporation(YELL)$, which just filed for bankruptcy protection and shut down its operations. And others, like $American Superconductor(AMSC)$, recently joined the party.

So, I thought it would be interesting to have an open discussion here! Let's talk about your thoughts on meme stocks:

  1. Are you a fan of meme stocks? 🚀 Do you enjoy riding the wave for big potential gains, or do you lean towards a more value-based approach?

  2. How do you approach the risks? 🎢 Do you believe in taking profits when you see an opportunity or prefer the "hodl" strategy, regardless of market fluctuations?

  3. Have you ever invested in meme stocks? 💰 If yes, what factors influenced your decision to buy in the first place?

  4. What led you to decide it was time to sell? 📉 Was it a specific price target, market sentiment, or other factors that influenced your selling decision?

Feel free to share your personal experiences, insights, and opinions. Let's keep the discussion respectful and learn from one another! Remember, there are no right or wrong answers - it's all about understanding different perspectives.
