“ [The meme-stock] surge is powered by advances in trading technology, wider use of leverage, and the rapid expansion of the options market. Confidence among retail traders is notably higher, fueled in part by recent gains in crypto markets,” wrote Mark Hackett, chief market strategist at Nationwide.

Investors are again turning to meme stocks in the hopes of scoring quick gains. The latest beaten down companies to see a share price revival are Krispy Kreme, GoPro and Beyond Meat.

Conventional wisdom is out the door for some surging stocks as online hordes are bringing back meme stock mania.
