"Let's capitalize as the Reddit crowd gets crushed." Bryan Bottarelli, Head Trade Tactician For all the meme stock traders out there, it wasn't supposed to go like this... But that sound you hear - of a fist punching a face - is the sound of reality setting in. You see, this is Wall Street, not a fantasy land. The number on your brokerage account is real - it's not Monopoly money. Meme traders are now starting to realize the difference - and it'll leave a mark. A big, big mark. Here's what happened... Last Friday, popular Reddit stock SoFi Technologies (Nasdaq: SOFI) was due to report earnings. As a brief review, SoFi operates an online platform that provides student loan refinancing, private student loans, personal loans, auto loan refinances, home loans and mortgage loans. It became popular because many of the millennials on the stock chat boards who are saddled with debt used SoFi to refinance their student loans and thanked the company by pumping it up - thus, turning it into a meme stock. Note: SoFi also offers the SoFi Weekly Dividend ETF (NYSE: WKLY), which is an equity exchange-traded fund (ETF) that provides a weekly dividend payment to shareholders. This has pushed the company into the robo-advisor sector - which I actually find attractive. But that's for another article. Back to SoFi's earnings... |
