There're at least three METAs on the market, did you get confused?
Facebook's re-christening as $Meta Platforms (FB.US)$ took Wall Street and social media by strom on Thursday as the tech company positioned itself to double down on the metaverse.
An exchange-traded fund with the ticker symbol $Roundhill Ball Metaverse ETF (META.US)$ saw a flood of new cash after Facebook officially changed its name to Meta Platforms. The $142 million Roundhill Ball Metaverse ETF pulled in $12.5 million on Thursday, its largest single-day inflow since early September.
Since the announcement, traders have bid up shares of funds and companies that could be mistaken for Facebook's new name. Shares of $Meta Materials (MMAT.US)$, a trending meme stock on Reddit's WallStreetBets forum, saw its shares jump 8.3% since Wednesday's close to trade around $4.71 as of Friday afternoon.
Cases of mistaken identity aren't uncommon in the investment world. When $Zoom Video Communications (ZM.US)$ made its debut on the public market in 2019, penny stock Zoom Technologies, whose ticker was ZOOM at the time, soared 56,000% within 30 days.

FirstStrike Veteran : no, I haven't but if you bought MMAT on accident then it's something you should do some DD on for sure! This company is on my top lost of favorite companies. There's so much that they offer and they have the partnerships to prove it. This is my buy and hold forever stock. I have been loading up on shares under 5 dollars, I have calls for 10 strike for Jan 2023. I have also been selling puts at the 4 strike currently and will do the same once we get back to holding above 5 dollars. Good Luck and do your own DD!
