The Dow climbed over 1% early on Monday as a result of a strong push from industrial stocks. However, the Nasdaq lagged, starting off the day with a loss, with a lot of tech stocks contributing to the lag. Many of these tech stocks happen to be meme stocks, with a few seeing some massive losses early on in the day.
The WallStreetBets (WSB) community has been a resounding force in the market since January, causing many investors to reevaluate their positions and institutions to reconsider some of their bearish bets.
Some of the biggest names in play over the past several months have been GameStop Corp. (NYSE: GME) and AMC Entertainment Holdings Inc. (NYSE: AMC). The WSB community has often targeted companies that are heavily shorted, crowding that trade and forcing a short squeeze. While these companies were the first round of WSB targets, the community has expanded from there into more stocks.
Here 24/7 Wall St. takes a quick look at what these stocks are doing and what may be the next targets.
