Everyone knows what a meme is, but what exactly is a meme stock? A meme stock refers to shares of a company that have gained the code like following online and through social media, and this whole thing started out as people on washing beds, subreddit buying, gamestop and amc as jokes. Don't get me wrong, they were and still are real companies, but these companies weren't exactly something you would ever want to invest in for the long term growth. To put it nicely, these dogs have questionable fundamentals, or, as somebody who is more direct, would say they were absolutely pieces of garbage and much like how we find memes to be funny. A lot of people invested in these stocks because they thought it was funny.

But little do they know these stunts were about to change the stock market and pretty much the entire world.
