It's paid to follow what stocks Reddit's Wall Street Bets crowd are talking about this year, as several have gone through epic rallies and seen heightened volatility.

From GameStop in January to AMC Entertainment in June, the near 11 million-member forum has driven the conversation in so-called meme stocks that have exploded higher amid overwhelming demand from retail investors. Strong demand for 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.

GameStop's short-squeeze, in-part led by the Wall Street Bets crowd, led to a more than 50% drawdown in multi-billion dollar hedge fund Melvin Capital. Meanwhile, the sharp rally in struggling movie theater chain AMC Entertainment caused billions of dollar in losses for short-sellers in May and June.

But while some stocks popular with the Reddit crowd have seen massive gains, some have also seen epic losses. In the past month, many meme stocks have seen accelerating declines, with AMC Entertainment and GameStop both down more than 50% from their June highs.

As traders look to replicate the success of Wall Street Bets stocks, one data aggregator is compiling the most mentioned stocks on Reddit's forum.
