AMC Entertainment (NYSE:AMC) stock is on the rise today as investors in the meme stock are pushing for a squeeze on social media.
Here’s everything AMC stock investors need to know about today’s news.
- Investors in AMC are calling for a short squeeze of the stock to boost its price higher.
- This has loads of users taking to Twitter (NYSE:TWTR) to discuss the effort.
- These investors are using the hashtag #AMCSqueeze.
- There’s enough of them posting that the hashtag is currently trending on the social media platform.
- That has many users on Twitter calling on others to buy and hold shares of the stock to increase their value.
- This type of activity is something we’ve seen in the past from Reddit investors.
- They come together to buy and hold shares of a stock and typically target those shorted by hedge funds.
- AMC stock is actually already one of Reddit’s favorites.
- It experienced a similar boom earlier this year alongside GameStop (NYSE:GME) and other meme stocks.
- Meme stocks cooled off for a while after all that activity.
- During that time, cryptos were the new meme investment with Dogecoin (CCC:DOGE-USD) and others getting major boosts.
- However, it looks like investors are taking interest in meme stocks again.
- That makes sense as crypto is experiencing a crash right now after Elon Musk said Tesla (NASDAQ:TSLA) will no longer accept Bitcoin (CCC:BTC-USD).
- It could be that more meme investors are turning back to their favorite stocks as cryptos like DOGE take a major hit today.
- Either way, today’s news definitely has investors in AMC stock happy.
- Many are share memes and jokes on Twitter alongside the short squeeze hashtag.
AMC Stock was up 13.4% as of Thursday morning and is up 482.6% since the start of the year.
