WallStreetBets is an online community on the social media platform Reddit where users discuss stock trading and investment strategies. It gained significant attention in early 2021 for its role in driving up the prices of certain stocks, notably GameStop, through collective buying and sharing of investment ideas. The community is known for its irreverent humor and meme culture, often using slang and jargon that can be confusing to outsiders. Members of WallStreetBets often share their trading experiences, including both successes and failures, fostering a sense of camaraderie among retail investors. The group emphasizes a high-risk, high-reward approach to investing, which has led to both substantial gains and losses for its participants.
