Meme stocks pare gains as highly shorted Krispy Kreme, GoPro join the frenzy.
July 23 (Reuters) - Investor enthusiasm faded for the latest meme stocks on Wednesday, with shares in heavily shorted Krispy Kreme (DNUT.O), opens new tab and GoPro (GPRO.O), opens new tab closing well below their session highs, while Tuesday's investor darling - department store Kohl's - finished sharply lower.
Individual investors have been betting on riskier pockets of the market, including cryptocurrencies and lower-priced consumer-facing stocks, as the broader equity market has soared to record highs recently.
Meme stock is not my thing though. I'd rather stay away. How about you guys?
