Shares of WISH stock continue to be a favorite among Reddit traders, as well as those on other forms of social media. There’s plenty of discussions today on these websites with users trying to push shares of the stock higher.

With all of this comes heavy trading of WISH stock. As of this writing, more than 48 million shares of the stock have changed hands. To put that in perspective, the company’s daily average trading volume is closer to 22.9 million shares.

While WISH stock is technically out of the penny stock range with shares trading above $10 each, that doesn’t mean investors have nothing to worry about. Before this recent meme stock rally, it was below that $10 price point. That means investors will still want to be careful if they plan to jump in on the latest rally.
