Following the rally of GameStop and AMC earlier in the year, Maxim Manturov, Head of Investment Research at Freedom Finance Europe, lists the stocks likely to be potential targets of the “meme stocks” movement and explains why it’s important not to get sucked into impulse buys.
“The steady rise of AMC, GameStop, and other meme stocks was due to a result of high levels of liquidity in the financial system and the impact of the pandemic. Individual investors must, without a doubt, control their emotional purchasing and selling impulses, which can be triggered by market ups and downs, FOMO, and other factors.
“Indeed, because they are frequently entangled in hype or fear, sometimes investors appear to start investing at highs and selling at lows. The key is to understand the motivations behind emotional investing and to avoid both euphoric and depressive investment traps that can lead to bad decisions. The investor psyche can overpower rational thinking during times of stress, whether the stress is caused by euphoria or panic. To capitalise on market euphoria or frightening events, it is critical to take a rational and realistic approach to investing.
“With this in mind, below are the following stocks that are likely to be potential targets of the “meme stocks” movement in the near future:
