DEFINITION: The meaning of meme stocks is sort of self-explanatory: hyped stocks that perform well. But from a fundamental perspective, they shouldn’t do well at all.

For example, Reddit forums and social media hype drive meme stocks. Speculators on Twitter and Reddit united together to trade their favorite companies in hopes of driving them “to the moon.” 

It may not be fair to call them speculators. These hype beasts want to buy and hold stocks of companies that might not have a great long-term outlook.

Brokerages like Robinhood helped level the playing field with apps and ‘easier’ access. That’s giving retail traders more opportunity. Robinhood traders can buy with just a few clicks on their smartphones and use partial positions to buy chunks of stocks.

And it’s helped create meme stock madness.
