In a video posted on Reddit’s WallStreetBets forum, a man throws a long steep slide, with his arms folded, before crashing into the muddy ground. Then he sits down, stunned.
Video title: “A WSB advertising action as soon as I buy it.”
The meme is a hit, which shoots up to the top of the subreddit page. “Buy high, sell low, right?” one user replied.
The tongue meme on the cheek has some truth. In recent weeks, many stocks that WallStreetBets had sent shooting “to the moon” have fallen to the ground. Fave GameStop Corp. of the forum closed Friday at $ 52.40, below an intraday peak of nearly $ 500 just over two weeks ago.
What follows is a five-day diary of chaos and jokes on WallStreetBets (we can’t post all the desecration).
