“I like this stock” – Another random comment that makes me think it’s bot-related, but it’s a buying indicator sentiment.“This guy fucks” – No idea how this started, but just a term of endearment for OP (Original Poster).“Fuck it, I’m in” – Common comment that is likely a bot, but somewhat convincing of an unconvincing argument. DD – Due Diligence – There’s surprisingly some well researched posts in the midst of an avalanche of inappropriate jokes.Bagholders – People with large positions on the stock.To the moon / Rocket (rocket and moon emoji) – When a stonk rockets up in price.Paper hands (toilet paper and hands up emojis) – Weak hands selling (hopefully for a profit) and retrospectively after a larger gain was possible.Unclear what the exit strategy is for this. Diamond hands (diamond and hands up emojis) – Never selling and keep holding.It’s been used overall as just general gains after withdrawing from the market. Tendies – Small gains from trading that you can cash out to go to McDonalds to buy some chicken tenders.Full Retard – Usually self-referential term in a post where you’ve shown your YOLO positions.YOLO / yeet – “You Only Live Once” style trading without any need for diversification to put life savings into one trading play.Degenerates – Embracing the self-deprecating terms for the hoard.Apes / Monkey (gorilla emoji) / “Apes together strong” – For those less comfortable with using autists, have referred to the community of apes as lowly retail investors.Autists – Not meant to be offensive, but everyone in the group accepts the description.Stonks – I guess you can’t be giving investment advice if it’s just for stonks.Also also, a lot of these terms are also used in reddit more broadly and crypto. Also, I don’t know how to do emojis here. Note: Apologies for profanity, but this is just how people trash talk on the channel. Who would have thought that meme stocks would be more profitable than real fundamental analysis? Hopefully markets go back to a steady state, but until then I’m expecting some volatility in the coming weeks. The group doesn’t really take itself that seriously, so there was a clear distinction that it was totally not trading advice (plus most of it was terrible outlandish advice). If you read enough of the threads, you start to catch onto the common lingo. I joined WSB a few years ago for pure entertainment and sometimes pretty good due diligence. Reminded me of the WSB guy Why this List? Random Observation/Comment #697: Today’s trading is basically gambling.
