Reddit's WallStreetBets forum entered the mainstream at the beginning of 2021 during the GameStop craze.

Following which stocks Reddit's WallStreetBets crowd is talking about was a tactic that paid off handsomely in 2021, as several have gone through epic rallies and heightened volatility.
From GameStop to AMC Entertainment, the more than 11 million-member forum has driven the conversation in so-called meme stocks that have exploded higher amid overwhelming demand from retail investors. The surge in stocks with shaky fundamentals has led to several hedge fund blowups that were caught on the opposite side of the trade betting against the company in question.
But since those short-squeezes caused destruction for some short sellers, shares of GameStop and AMC Entertainment have fallen by about 60% from their record highs as investors begin to confront the fundamental backdrop behind the companies.
As traders look to replicate the success of WallStreetBets stocks, one data aggregator is compiling the most mentioned stocks on Reddit's forum.
