Amid GME, AMC Rally, Expert Says 'First Time This Happened, It Was More Of A Movement, But Right Now This Looks Like A Craze'
After a brief lull, GameStop Corp. (NYSE:GME) and other meme stocks are back in the spotlight, sparking a fresh wave of excitement and concern on Wall Street.
在短暫的平靜之後，GameStop Corp.（紐約證券交易所代碼：GME）和其他模因股票重新成爲人們關注的焦點，在華爾街引發了新的興奮和擔憂。
What Happened: Meme stocks, a term used to describe stocks that experience rapid and extreme price movements driven by social media, are once again making headlines. GameStop, the video game retailer at the center of the 2021 meme stock frenzy, has seen its stock price surge by 340% over the past 10 trading days, largely due to posts on the X platform linked to "Roaring Kitty" Keith Gill, a key figure in the previous meme stock craze.
發生了什麼：模因股票再次成爲頭條新聞，這個術語用來描述在社交媒體的推動下經歷快速而極端的價格波動的股票。處於2021年模因股狂潮中心的視頻遊戲零售商GameStop的股價在過去10個交易日中飆升了340％，這主要是由****台上發佈的與之前模因股票熱潮中的關鍵人物 “咆哮的小貓” 基思·吉爾相關的帖子。
Other companies, including AMC Entertainment Holdings Inc (NYSE:AMC), Koss Corporation (NASDAQ:KOSS), and Tupperware Brands Corp (NYSE:TUP), have also experienced significant increases in their stock prices. Many of these stocks are heavily shorted, and their fundamentals have weakened in recent years.
其他公司，包括AMC娛樂控股公司（紐約證券交易所代碼：AMC）、科斯公司（納斯達克股票代碼：KOSS）和特百惠品牌公司（紐約證券交易所代碼：TUP），其股價也大幅上漲。這些股票中有許多被大量做空，其基本面近年來有所減弱。
Despite the recent gains, these stocks have yet to reach the heights they did in 2021. GameStop's shares, for example, soared by as much as 1,700% that year, while AMC's surged by 2,850%.
儘管最近有所上漲，但這些股票尚未達到2021年的高點。例如，GameStop的股價當年飆升了1,700％，而AMC的股價飆升了2850％。
"It's hard not to use words like 'insane' when you look at this as a trader," said Jay Woods, chief global strategist at Freedom Capital Markets, reported Reuters.
路透社報道，自由資本市場首席全球策略師傑伊·伍茲表示：“當你以交易者的身份看待這個問題時，很難不使用'瘋狂'之類的詞。”
"The first time this happened, it was more of a movement, but right now this looks like a craze where people are saying, 'Here's an opportunity' and 'Let's see if we can make a quick buck off of it.'"
“第一次發生這種情況時，它更像是一場運動，但現在這看起來像一場熱潮，人們在說，'這是一個機會'和'讓我們看看我們能否從中快速賺錢。'”
Why It Matters: The resurgence of meme stocks has sparked a debate about the driving forces behind these volatile investments. Some industry experts, such as JJ Kinahan, CEO of IG North America, believe that the current rally is not driven by retail traders, as was the case in the past.
爲何重要：模因股的復甦引發了關於這些波動性投資背後驅動力的辯論。一些行業專家，例如IG北美首席執行官JJ Kinahan，認爲，當前的漲勢並不像過去那樣是由零售交易者推動的。
Others, like economist and former hedge fund manager Raoul Pal, argue that the surge has nothing to do with interest rates, as suggested by traditional finance theories.
經濟學家和前對沖基金經理拉烏爾·帕爾等其他人則認爲，正如傳統金融理論所暗示的那樣，利率飆升與利率無關。
Meanwhile, CNBC's Jim Cramer has suggested that companies like GameStop and AMC could use the stock surge to raise capital through public offerings.
同時，CNBC的吉姆·克萊默表示，像GameStop和AMC這樣的公司可以利用股票激增通過公開募股籌集資金。
The renewed interest in meme stocks has investors wondering if this is the beginning of another wild ride, as Keith Gill's return to social media has reignited interest in these potentially lucrative yet volatile investments.
人們對模因股票重新產生了興趣，這讓投資者想知道這是否是又一次瘋狂之旅的開始，因爲基思·吉爾重返社交媒體重新激發了人們對這些潛在利潤豐厚但波動不定的投資的興趣。
