The meme stock rally is fizzling out as shares of both GameStop (GME) and AMC Entertainment (AMC) are falling after two days of massive gains. Financial Analyst and RU-vidr Kevin Paffrath joins Market Domination to discuss the meme stock craze following the online return of “Roaring Kitty.”
“It feels like we’re back at the beginning of 2021,” Paffrath says of the meme sock action. He adds that he sees meme stocks more as “momentum stocks,” as it ultimately boils down to volume. When getting into momentum stocks, Paffrath says that investors should go in prepared to lose 100% of their money as these stocks move quickly.
He notes that the rally in 2021 was fueled by the stock market “going straight up” for nine months. He also points to people using their stimulus checks toward momentum stocks, which allowed companies like GameStop to take off. However, as inflation remains sticky, wallets are tighter and fewer people are willing to invest in momentum stocks this time around.
“It’s sort of like playing the lottery,” Paffrath says. “People don’t generally care about the mechanics behind it. They just want to make money, and I don’t blame that because times are tough,” he adds.
He also highlights how these rallies are great for the companies, analyzing how AMC “basically got three months of free operating expenses to pay for their employees and their theaters" from this week’s gains.

My dividend journey began when I realized that two particular expenses in my budget were always going to go up and never go down. The two expenses were taxes and insurance. I realized that the dramatic rise in both will need some added income. So, I started buying shares paying dividends. I can now see that this will be the path I need to take to make sure those two expenses will not overtake my future income.

As a beginner, educate yourself, Learn the basics of investing and the stock market. There are many resources available online, including books, articles, and online courses. It’s a good idea to diversify your portfolio across different stocks and sectors to minimize risk. I’ve heard of people accruing over $550k during recessions and inflation, its important to do your own research.

A lot of folks downplay the role of advlsors until being burnt by their own emotions. I remember couple summers back, after my lengthy divorce, I needed a good boost to help my business stay afloat, hence I researched for licensed advisors and came across someone of utmost qualifications. She's helped grow my reserve notwithstanding inflation, from $275k to $850K.

This is definitely considerable! think you could suggest any professional/advisors i can get on the phone with? I'm in dire need of proper portfolio allocation.

Angela Lynn Shilling is the licensed advisor I use. Just research the name. You’d find necessary details to work with a correspondence to set up an appointment.
