The names were the type that could inspire an &#8220;us vs. them&#8221; mentality because they were the companies that defined many of their youths and the idea that &#8220;the big guys&#8221; were ganging up on them via short sale was enough to galvanize them. I quoted my 23-year-old son, who clarified the notion in a nutshell:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>\u201cThe short squeezed WSB stocks all have one thing in common besides being short squeezed.&nbsp; They\u2019re all things a 20-something person would be nostalgic for.&nbsp; GameStop, AMC, Nokia, Build-a-Bear \u2013 things that would make you sad to hear are failing business because it means that you\u2019re old.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Now I think the concept has evolved into pure economics \u2013 or pure greed. &nbsp;The group of stocks that defined memes in January and February have become a sector unto themselves.&nbsp; To an extent, we can consider them in combination with cryptocurrencies. On my market monitor the meme stocks have a section of their own, and I assume that I am not alone in doing that. <a href=\"\/campus\/traders-insight\/securities\/stocks\/rotation-meme-style\/\">I wrote about this part of the phenomenon last week<\/a> when I asserted that highly speculative financial instruments were seeing their own sort of market rotation. I don\u2019t think it\u2019s strictly a coincidence that meme stocks roared back to life after a significant correction in bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies. Put plainly, the latest group of traders is jumping in simply into whatever seems most exciting. &nbsp;For better or worse, it\u2019s metastasized into something much more about greed than anything else.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"\/campus\/traders-insight\/securities\/stocks\/embracing-the-meme-amc-style\/\">Yesterday I wrote about how it appeared that AMC management was beginning to fully embrace the stock\u2019s meme status<\/a>.&nbsp; The rallying stock could be used as a way to dig a company that was only marginally profitable pre-pandemic out of a deep financial hole.&nbsp; Today\u2019s news of another secondary offering fits that narrative completely.&nbsp; Issuing highly valued equity is a perfectly sensible maneuver for a company that needs to service and eventually repay billions of dollars of debt.&nbsp; Yesterday, the market gleefully ignored a small secondary offering that was immediately flipped on Tuesday.&nbsp; Perhaps they were distracted by an offer of free popcorn, or the greater implication that AMC management was a full participant in the meme stock game, or simply the \u201cbuy\u201d switch had been flipped among enough investors that it was going to rally no matter what.&nbsp; It is quite possible that today\u2019s fall is more about price vertigo after sharp rallies than anything else.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Meme stock mania didn\u2019t die in February, it simply went into hibernation.&nbsp; Like cicadas, meme traders returned in a wild blaze of activity after being seemingly underground for several months.&nbsp; It remains to be seen how long this latest period of activity will last (it\u2019s too soon to say that it\u2019s over yet), and whether it will be repeated in similar bouts in the months ahead.&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Now that we are amidst what I termed \u201cmeme stock 2.0\u201d, I think it is an opportune time to see if those original ideas of the
