Reddit forum WallStreetBets, with a user base of close to 11 million, is one of the hottest places in the finance world, with everyone from retail investors to multi-billion dollar hedge funds keeping track of stock mentions on the forum to keep abreast of the latest market trends. The forum was founded in 2012 by Jaime Rogozinski and had only around 1.6 million members in late 2020 before the short squeeze saga involving GameStop and AMC Entertainment in early 2021 propelled the group into the mainstream.
The importance of the group as a retail investor hub can be gauged from an investor note penned by Nikolaos Panigirtzoglou, a financial analyst at investment bank JPMorgan, in June this year in which he claimed that retail investors had already poured close to $500 billion into equities this year and were on track to invest more than $1 trillion into the stock market by the end of December 2021. Ben Onatibia, a strategist at Vanda Research, believes that the investing habits of retail investors are changing, with short squeezes going “out of fashion”.
With the increased interest around cryptocurrency and related stocks at the forum in the past few weeks, the moderators of the WallStreetBets forum recently decided to create a spinoff of the group named WallStreetBetsCrypto that is dedicated to the discussions of crypto offerings. In an interview with news platform Kitco News, Rogozinski has also recently floated the idea of a new “meme stock”, a term he used to refer to a new type of exchange-traded product that would let investors with a stake have a say in the asset selection process.
Investors interested in these trends should monitor the stocks presently popular on WallStreetbets like Tesla, Inc. (NASDAQ: TSLA), Apple Inc. (NASDAQ: AAPL), NIO Inc. (NYSE: NIO), Amazon.com, Inc. (NASDAQ: AMZN), and Alphabet Inc. (NASDAQ: GOOG), among others. In addition to these more expensive options, there are several stocks under $5 that are also being discussed on the forum. Some of these are discussed in detail below. There is little doubt that retail investors have fundamentally altered market dynamics in the past few months.
Hedge funds have suffered losses of billions of dollars in a battle for market supremacy with retail investors this year. This is partly why retail investors have come to command great attention in the finance world, especially in the context of the WallStreetBets forum. The entire hedge fund industry is feeling the reverberations of the changing financial landscape. Its reputation has been tarnished in the last decade, during which its hedged returns couldn’t keep up with the unhedged returns of the market indices. On the other hand, Insider Monkey’s research was able to identify in advance a select group of hedge fund holdings that outperformed the S&P 500 ETFs by more than 86 percentage points since March 2017. Between March 2017 and July 2021 our monthly newsletter’s stock picks returned 186.1%, vs. 100.1% for the SPY. Our stock picks outperformed the market by more than 86 percentage points (see the details here). That’s why we believe hedge fund sentiment is an extremely useful indicator that investors should pay attention to.
