A new army of social media-enabled day traders is helping push stocks to records and turning companies into market sensations.⠀
⠀
As trading by individual investors boomed during the pandemic, so has the popularity of online communities where they gather. They have been taking to platforms like TikTok, Twitter, YouTube, Reddit, Instagram, Facebook and the messaging platform Discord to talk about hot stocks like Tesla and boast of gains and commiserate about losses. They also piggyback on each others’ ideas and trades, helping fuel the momentum that has propelled some companies to triple-digit or bigger gains in 2020.⠀
⠀
Though few expect this year to see as much market volatility as 2020, online interest in investing has only grown. As of January, posts tied to #stockmarket had garnered over 800 million views on TikTok, more than triple the figure in June. Reddit’s infamous WallStreetBets forum has more than doubled in subscribers since the start of 2020. StockTwits, a social network focused on investing and trading, has seen its user numbers more than triple over the past year. ⠀

“If there’s some really good stocks out there—usually people are talking about it,” said Gavin Mayo, a 19-year-old student at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. He typically spends anywhere from one to five hours a day scrolling TikTok, YouTube and other platforms for ideas on what to trade while churning out video snippets to more than 60,000 of his TikTok followers.⠀
⠀
Determining the degree to which online chatter drives share-price movement can be difficult to quantify. But some researchers have found individual investors typically make the biggest impact on smaller, more speculative stocks.⠀
