I must confess, when I first heard that a struggling video game shop was bringing Wall Street behemoths to their knees, I thought someone was having a laugh. It sounded like the plot of a rather terrible film. And yet, here we are. The financial world, for all its pinstriped seriousness and impenetrable jargon, was turned upside down by a horde of ordinary people armed with little more than a Reddit account and a sense of righteous indignation. It’s a fascinating, if utterly bonkers, spectacle.

Let’s be clear about what this is, and what it isn’t. The meme stock phenomenon wasn’t born from careful analysis of price to earnings ratios or discounted cash flow models. It was born in the chaotic, meme-filled forums of the internet. The logic was brutally simple. A group of hedge funds had bet billions that certain companies, like GameStop, were destined for the scrap heap. A growing online community decided to call their bluff.
What followed was a classic David and Goliath tale for the digital age. Using coordinated buying, these retail investors, many reportedly using their government stimulus cheques, created a short squeeze of epic proportions. They didn't just invest, they went to war. They weren’t just buying a stock, they were buying into a narrative of sticking it to the man. And for a while, it worked spectacularly well, costing the so called smart money billions.

GameStop became the poster child, a symbol of defiance against a financial system many felt was rigged. Did its business fundamentals justify a share price rocketing into the stratosphere? Of course not, but that was entirely beside the point. The value wasn't in the balance sheet, it was in the movement. The same story played out with the cinema chain AMC. A business battered by the pandemic suddenly found itself championed by the "AMC Army", a legion of supporters who bought shares with an almost religious fervour.
This is the key to understanding the psychology at play. It’s about identity and community as much as it is about money. The mantra of "diamond hands", holding on through gut-wrenching volatility, isn't an investment strategy. It's a badge of honour, a declaration of faith in the cause. It’s a powerful, emotional force that traditional market analysis simply cannot compute.

Now, for a dose of cold, hard reality. While the success stories are thrilling, this is an exceptionally dangerous game. For every person who made a fortune, countless others likely bought in at the peak and watched their investment evaporate. These stocks can, and do, lose staggering amounts of value in a single day. Their prices are completely detached from any recognisable business reality.
To me, treating these as anything other than pure speculation is a fool's errand. This isn't investing, it's betting on crowd psychology. It’s a fascinating corner of the market, where a collection of companies are linked not by industry, but by a shared, chaotic narrative. You can even find them grouped together in thematic baskets, like the Meme Stocks Madness collection, which neatly illustrates how sentiment has become its own asset class. But it’s a class fraught with risk, and it certainly has no place in your pension pot. The potential for reward is matched only by the potential for ruin.
