Welcome to the Meme Stock Tracker podcast. Here's your update on the latest retail trading activity.

The meme stock landscape continues to show remarkable resilience heading into the final months of 2025. GameStop and AMC Entertainment remain the cornerstones of retail investor attention, with both stocks maintaining strong social media momentum across Reddit, TikTok, and YouTube. GameStop's score recently jumped to 88 on the Meme Stock Index, driven largely by TikTok engagement highlighting what traders are calling round two of the meme stock story. AMC has similarly climbed to a 92 rating, propelled by consistent Reddit buzz and celebration of short squeeze narratives.

Beyond these traditional meme stock heavyweights, new players have captured retail attention in recent weeks. Beyond Meat experienced an extraordinary rally this month, with shares surging roughly 1,400 percent at their peak before retracing significantly. The stock's wild ride included fourteen trading halts for volatility in a single day, and options activity exploded with record-breaking call option volume. This type of dramatic movement exemplifies the unpredictable nature of meme stock phenomena, where fundamental business challenges often take a backseat to social media enthusiasm and short-squeeze dynamics.

Opendoor Technologies has also emerged as a notable player in the current meme stock cycle, having surged over 500 percent at times before settling at around 200 percent gains over the past month. This rally triggered a broader wave of activity in related stocks, with GoPro, Krispy Kreme, and other previously overlooked companies seeing significant gains as well. The pattern demonstrates how individual meme stock rallies can create spillover effects across the broader market.

Recent data shows strong trading volume across meme stock securities, with retail investors actively trading options alongside equities. The Meme Stock Index tracks social media mentions and engagement across major platforms to identify which stocks are generating the most buzz among online communities. Over the last twenty-four hours, the top one hundred meme stocks from Reddit saw nearly seven thousand mentions and over fifty thousand upvotes, indicating sustained interest in the meme stock phenomenon.

What's particularly interesting is how this activity reflects a broader retail trading strategy in response to an expensive overall stock market. Investors are actively seeking stocks with depressed valuations that also carry the potential for significant gains. The psychology driving these decisions centers on community participation, fear of missing out, and the appeal of betting against institutional short sellers. Keith Gill, known as Roaring Kitty, helped pioneer this movement with GameStop back in 2021, and today new influencers like Dimitri Semenikhin and Eric Jackson are playing similar roles in rallying retail investors around emerging meme stock opportunities.

Trading remains highly volatile in this sector, and it's crucial to remember that these movements can reverse quickly. Many meme stocks feature weak underlying fundamentals, elevated short interest, and extreme volatility that creates both opportunities and significant risks for participants.
