What each one does

GameStop. GameStop is the largest video-game retail chain, a business in structural decline as gaming goes digital. It's famous as the original meme stock: its share price moves more on retail-investor communities than on results, and it holds a large cash pile after selling shares into the spikes.

AMC. AMC is the world's largest cinema chain and, alongside GameStop, the other big meme stock: it survived the pandemic by selling shares to its retail fans. Its business depends on the box office and carries enormous debt.
