WallStreetBets

WallStreetBets is an online community and forum on Reddit where retail investors discuss stock trading, particularly in high-risk options trading. Known for its irreverent culture and humor, the group gained widespread attention in early 2021 for driving up the prices of certain stocks, like GameStop and AMC, through coordinated buying. This resulted in significant losses for some hedge funds that had bet against these companies. WallStreetBets embodies a blend of investment strategy, social commentary, and a challenge to traditional finance, often emphasizing a DIY approach to investing and taking on institutional players.
