While it\u2019s true that some individuals have made money on meme stocks, it\u2019s a highly speculative way of trading. More people than not will lose money by \u201cbetting\u201d on risky meme stocks, and there are much more reliable, albeit slower, strategies to make money in the stock market.<h3>What are meme stocks?<\/h3><p>In a nutshell, meme stocks describe publicly traded companies that experience a surge in popularity based almost entirely on social media hype. These companies may not have increased in value because of innovation, growth or financial performance. Still, hordes of retail investors buy the stock in droves.<\/p><p>The sudden popularity of these stocks is driven by individuals or groups on social media aggressively hyping certain companies, making them go viral. The result is often inflated stock prices, which typically don\u2019t have much basis in reality. Rather than buying shares in a company you believe has a good future, meme stock investors buy stocks that are merely popular by social media standards.<\/p><div class=\"eeQuote box u-rounded--lg source-external type-expert\">\n    <div class=\"eeQuote__gridContainer\">\n        <div class=\"eeQuote__photoContainer\">\n            <div class=\"eeQuote__startQuoteIcon\">\n                <svg xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" width=\"40\" height=\"36\" viewbox=\"0 0 32 28\" fill=\"none\">\n  <path d=\"M13.1114 3.54845C12.05 5.01898 11.1447 6.64935 10.3955 8.43956C9.64624 10.2298 9.24041 11.8282 9.17798 13.2348C10.7389 13.8102 11.9563 14.6733 12.8304 15.8242C13.767 16.975 14.2352 18.3816 14.2352 20.044C14.2352 22.0899 13.5484 23.8482 12.1749 25.3187C10.8637 26.7253 9.2092 27.4286 7.21127 27.4286C5.15091 27.4286 3.43394 26.7253 2.06036 25.3187C0.686788 23.9121 0 21.8661 0 19.1808C0 16.3037 0.749223 13.043 2.24767 9.3986C3.74611 5.75424 5.83769 2.62138 8.52241 0L13.1114 3.54845ZM30.8762 3.54845C29.8148 5.01898 28.9095 6.64935 28.1602 8.43956C27.411 10.2298 27.0052 11.8282 26.9428 13.2348C28.5036 13.8102 29.7211 14.6733 30.5952 15.8242C31.5317 16.975 32 18.3816 32 20.044C32 22.0899 31.3132 23.8482 29.9396 25.3187C28.6285 26.7253 26.974 27.4286 24.976 27.4286C22.9157 27.4286 21.1987 26.7253 19.8251 25.3187C18.4516 23.9121 17.7648 21.8661 17.7648 19.1808C17.7648 16.3037 18.514 13.043 20.0124 9.3986C21.5109 5.75424 23.6025 2.62138 26.2872 0L30.8762 3.54845Z\" fill=\"#232320\"><\/path>\n<\/svg>\n            <\/div>\n\n                            <figure class=\"eeQuote__photo\">\n                        <img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Robert Johnson's headshot\" src=\"https:\/\/www.finder.com\/finder-us\/wp-uploads\/sites\/5\/2025\/02\/RobertRJohnson_Supplied_250x250.png\" class=\"avatar avatar-200 photo finder-avatar\" height=\"200\" width=\"200\" loading=\"lazy\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.finder.com\/finder-us\/wp-uploads\/sites\/5\/2025\/02\/RobertRJohnson_Supplied_250x250.png?fit=180 180w, https:\/\/www.finder.com\/finder-us\/wp-uploads\/sites\/5\/2025\/02\/RobertRJohnson_Supplied_250x250.png?fit=360 360w, https:\/\/www.finder.com\/finder-us\/wp-uploads\/sites\/5\/2025\/02\/RobertRJohnson_Supplied_250x250.png?fit=600 600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\">\n                <\/figure>\n\n                                    <\/div>\n\n        <div class=\"eeQuote__contentContainer \">\n            <div class=\"eeQuote__content\">\n                                    <div class=\"eeQuote__heading\">Expert insight<\/div>\n                                <div class=\"eeQuote__quote\">\n                    <p>\"There is a cult-like fascination with many meme stocks.

The term \u201cmeme stocks\u201d is derived from the internet phenomenon of \u201cmemes,\u201d which are humorous images, videos or texts that spread rapidly online through social media and forums.<\/p><p>In most cases, the share price of a meme stock does not reflect the company\u2019s performance. It\u2019s all about the social media hype and numerous people jumping on board, hoping to make a pile of money quickly. But if you don\u2019t time it right\u2014before the stock price inevitably falls\u2014you lose money.<\/p><div class=\"eeQuote box u-rounded--lg source-external type-expert\">\n    <div class=\"eeQuote__gridContainer\">\n        <div class=\"eeQuote__photoContainer\">\n            <div class=\"eeQuote__startQuoteIcon\">\n                <svg xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" width=\"40\" height=\"36\" viewbox=\"0 0 32 28\" fill=\"none\">\n  <path d=\"M13.1114 3.54845C12.05 5.01898 11.1447 6.64935 10.3955 8.43956C9.64624 10.2298 9.24041 11.8282 9.17798 13.2348C10.7389 13.8102 11.9563 14.6733 12.8304 15.8242C13.767 16.975 14.2352 18.3816 14.2352 20.044C14.2352 22.0899 13.5484 23.8482 12.1749 25.3187C10.8637 26.7253 9.2092 27.4286 7.21127 27.4286C5.15091 27.4286 3.43394 26.7253 2.06036 25.3187C0.686788 23.9121 0 21.8661 0 19.1808C0 16.3037 0.749223 13.043 2.24767 9.3986C3.74611 5.75424 5.83769 2.62138 8.52241 0L13.1114 3.54845ZM30.8762 3.54845C29.8148 5.01898 28.9095 6.64935 28.1602 8.43956C27.411 10.2298 27.0052 11.8282 26.9428 13.2348C28.5036 13.8102 29.7211 14.6733 30.5952 15.8242C31.5317 16.975 32 18.3816 32 20.044C32 22.0899 31.3132 23.8482 29.9396 25.3187C28.6285 26.7253 26.974 27.4286 24.976 27.4286C22.9157 27.4286 21.1987 26.7253 19.8251 25.3187C18.4516 23.9121 17.7648 21.8661 17.7648 19.1808C17.7648 16.3037 18.514 13.043 20.0124 9.3986C21.5109 5.75424 23.6025 2.62138 26.2872 0L30.8762 3.54845Z\" fill=\"#232320\"><\/path>\n<\/svg>\n            <\/div>\n\n                            <figure class=\"eeQuote__photo\">\n                        <img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Todd Stearn's headshot\" src=\"https:\/\/www.finder.com\/finder-us\/wp-uploads\/sites\/5\/2025\/02\/ToddStearn_Supplied_250x250.png\" class=\"avatar avatar-200 photo finder-avatar\" height=\"200\" width=\"200\" loading=\"lazy\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.finder.com\/finder-us\/wp-uploads\/sites\/5\/2025\/02\/ToddStearn_Supplied_250x250.png?fit=180 180w, https:\/\/www.finder.com\/finder-us\/wp-uploads\/sites\/5\/2025\/02\/ToddStearn_Supplied_250x250.png?fit=360 360w, https:\/\/www.finder.com\/finder-us\/wp-uploads\/sites\/5\/2025\/02\/ToddStearn_Supplied_250x250.png?fit=600 600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\">\n                <\/figure>\n\n                                    <\/div>\n\n        <div class=\"eeQuote__contentContainer \">\n            <div class=\"eeQuote__content\">\n                                    <div class=\"eeQuote__heading\">Expert insight<\/div>\n                                <div class=\"eeQuote__quote\">\n                    <p>\"While those who buy early when a stock becomes a \u2018meme stock\u2019 can sell high if they time it right, this is a risky proposition.

For good or bad, meme stocks have impacted the stock market in the following ways:<\/p><ul><li><strong>Increased volatility<\/strong>. Meme stocks are often subject to extreme price swings, leading to heightened market volatility. This volatility can spread to other stocks and sectors, affecting overall market stability.<\/li><li><strong>Market liquidity<\/strong>. The surge in trading volumes for meme stocks can increase liquidity in the short term, but it may also strain the systems of brokerage firms, as seen during the GameStop surge.<\/li><li><strong>Attention to retail investors<\/strong>. The rise of meme stocks has highlighted the influence of retail investors. Traditionally dominated by institutional players, the market is seeing a shift where individual investors have a more pronounced impact.<\/li><li><strong>Scrutiny and regulation<\/strong>. The phenomenon has attracted the attention of regulators. There have been calls for increased oversight to ensure market fairness and transparency, particularly regarding short selling and the practices of trading platforms.<\/li><\/ul><h3>Popular meme stock terms<\/h3><p>Besides the term \u201cmeme stock,\u201d several other terms were coined following the GameStop phenomenon.<\/p><ul><li><strong>Apes<\/strong>. How those who participate in the meme stock community refer to themselves\u2014a strong, united group that stands together against institutional investors.<\/li><li><strong>Diamond hands<\/strong>. Being steadfast and resolute in holding onto a stock, no matter how volatile, even as it experiences significant losses.<\/li><li><strong>Paper hands<\/strong>. The opposite of diamond hands, this term describes those who sell their stock quickly at the first sign of trouble.<\/li><li><strong>To the moon<\/strong>. The hope or belief that a particular stock\u2019s price will surge dramatically.<\/li><li><strong>Stonks<\/strong>. Represents the absurdity or irrationality of stock market movements.<\/li><li><strong>Tendies<\/strong>. Refers to the profits or gains made from meme stocks.<\/li><li><strong>ATH<\/strong>. Stands for all-time high, which is a stock\u2019s highest share price.<\/li><li><strong>BTFD<\/strong>. \u201cBuy the f***ing dip\u201d means to buy a stock when its price is low in hopes of a turnaround.<\/li><li><strong>Bagholder<\/strong>. Someone who holds onto a stock even after it has experienced losses so drastic that it may be worthless.<\/li><li><strong>Hold the line<\/strong>. A statement or form of encouragement to hold onto a stock even as it experiences volatility.<\/li><li><strong>FOMO<\/strong>. Most people already know that FOMO means \u201cfear of missing out,\u201d but in the meme stock community, it refers to an individual\u2019s motivation for buying into a craze.<\/li><li><strong>YOLO<\/strong>. Similar to FOMO, \u201cyou only live once\u201d is basically the rationale for buying risky meme stocks.<\/li><\/ul><h3>Pros and cons of meme stocks<\/h3><p>Many meme stocks are highly speculative and risky, but they do have their share of advantages.<\/p><div class=\"u-grid\"><div class=\"u-grid__col u-1\/2@m\"><h4>Pros<\/h4><ul class=\"list-1\"><li><strong>Potential for rapid price appreciation<\/strong>. Meme stocks, by definition, have the potential to realize very high returns in a short period.<\/li><li><strong>Bragging rights<\/strong>. It can be extremely satisfying to buy up undervalued stock before it goes mainstream\u2014kind of like being one of the first to discover a new band.<\/li><li><strong>It\u2019s fun<\/strong>. Trading meme stocks is not unlike gambling; it\u2019s exciting, and there is always the possibility of winning.<\/li><\/ul><\/div><div class=\"u-grid__col u-1\/2@m\"><h4>Cons<\/h4><ul class=\"list-12\"><li><strong>Lack of fundamental basis<\/strong>. A lot of meme stocks only do well because of social media hype, not because they are necessarily worth it in terms of growth potential or financial health.<\/li><li><strong>Volatility<\/strong>. Meme stocks are notoriously volatile, with share prices falling as fast as they rise, so it\u2019s easy to lose a lot of money.<\/li><li><strong>Potential for poor diversification<\/strong>. If you focus on meme stocks rather than diversifying your portfolio\u2014one of the fundamentals of smart investing\u2014you could lose a ton of money.<\/li><\/ul><\/div><\/div><h3>What to consider before buying meme stocks<\/h3><p>Here are a few things to consider if you\u2019re considering putting money into current meme stocks.<\/p><ul><li><strong>Allocate a small portion of your portfolio to speculative stocks<\/strong>. Many financial experts recommend only allocating around five or ten percent of your overall portfolio to speculative assets.<\/li><li><strong>Set realistic expectations<\/strong>. Think of meme stocks as gambling. Hope for the best, but expect to lose most of the time.<\/li><li><strong>Do your due diligence<\/strong>. Research a company and review its fundamentals before buying its shares. Don\u2019t invest solely based on social media hype.<\/li><\/ul><h3>Other investment ideas to consider<\/h3><p>Investing in meme stocks can be volatile and speculative, so it\u2019s wise to explore other investment options that may offer more stability and long-term growth potential for the bulk of your portfolio.<\/p><p>Here are some diverse investment ideas to consider:<\/p><ul><li><strong>Blue chip stocks<\/strong>. These are shares of large, established companies with a history of reliable performance and dividends like <a href=\"https:\/\/www.finder.com\/ca\/stock-trading\/buy-apple-stock\">Apple (AAPL)<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.finder.com\/ca\/stock-trading\/buy-microsoft-stock\">Microsoft (MSFT)<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.finder.com\/ca\/stock-trading\/buy-johnson-and-johnson-stock\">Johnson &amp; Johnson (JNJ)<\/a>.<\/li><li><strong>Index funds<\/strong>. These are funds that track a specific index, like the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.finder.com\/ca\/stock-trading\/invest-in-sp-500\">S&amp;P 500<\/a>, offer broad market exposure with low fees. Examples include the Vanguard S&amp;P 500 ETF (VOO) and the SPDR S&amp;P 500 ETF (SPY).<\/li><li><strong>Dividend stocks<\/strong>. These are stocks that regularly pay dividends, providing a steady income stream. Examples include <a href=\"https:\/\/www.finder.com\/ca\/stock-trading\/buy-coca-cola-stock\">Coca-Cola (KO)<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.finder.com\/ca\/stock-trading\/buy-procter-gamble-stock\">Procter &amp; Gamble (PG)<\/a> and AT&amp;T (T).<\/li><\/ul><h3>Bottom line<\/h3><p>While the meme stock trading trend is fun and exciting and has the potential for big gains, it\u2019s unreliable for achieving long-term wealth. A better investment strategy\u2014especially if you\u2019re <a href=\"https:\/\/www.finder.com\/ca\/investments\/retirement-planning\">planning for retirement<\/a>\u2014is to have a well-diversified portfolio to minimize risk and maximize returns. Regardless of the asset, you\u2019ll need a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.finder.com\/ca\/stock-trading\/best-stock-trading-apps-in-canada\">brokerage account<\/a> to start trading and investing.<\/p><h3 id=\"faqs\">Frequently asked questions<\/h3><ul class=\"luna-accordionGroup accordionGroup\">\n\t<li class=\"luna-accordion\" data-accordion=\"accordion\">\n    <div class=\"luna-accordion__summary\">\n        <h4 class=\"luna-accordion__heading\">\n            <button class=\"luna-accordion__action collapsed\" aria-expanded=\"false\" aria-controls=\"faq-builder-0000000000\" data-toggle=\"collapse\" data-target=\"#faq-builder-0000000000\">\n                <span class=\"luna-accordion__title\">Are there meme stock exchange-traded funds (ETFs)?<\/span>\n                <svg class=\"luna-icon\" aria-hidden=\"true\">\n                    <use xlink:href=\"#chevron-down\" data-accordion-icon=\"show\"><\/use>\n                    <use xlink:href=\"#chevron-up\" data-accordion-icon=\"hide\" class=\"is-hidden\"><\/use>\n                <\/svg>\n            <\/button>\n        <\/h4>\n    <\/div>\n    <div class=\"luna-accordion__details collapse\" aria-hidden=\"true\" id=\"faq-builder-0000000000\" data-accordion=\"details\">\n        <div class=\"accordionContent\">\n            <div>\n                <p>One example of a meme stock ETF was the Roundhill MEME ETF (MEME).
