The WSB list includes stocks that receive a lot of media attention and have a strong sentiment from retail investors. The popularity of these stocks among retail investors combined with social media creates viral trends with a global reach and large price movements. WSB investors are attracted to "meme stocks" and popular "blue-chip" stocks due to their familiarity, volatility and momentum.
