A subreddit WallStreetBets-triggered short squeeze helped fuel a massive rally in GameStop (NYSE:GME) and AMC Entertainment (NYSE:AMC) earlier this year. And with the return of the meme stock frenzy, AMC has climbed to fresh highs this month. But this time BlackBerry (NYSE:BB), Sundial Growers (NASDAQ:SNDL), and Workhorse Group (WKHS) are hogging the spotlight and their share prices are skyrocketing.

(AMC) wild ride. The stock hit a $72.62 fresh high earlier this month and has rallied roughly 420% over the past month.

In fact, the chief strategist at Interactive Brokers (NASDAQ:IBKR) characterized AMC’s massive gains, which resemble those of GME, as “meme stock 2.0.”

Although the gains in these stocks are irresistible, we believe these companies do not possess sufficient fundamental strength and cash positions to sustain their sky-high valuations. So, we think these meme stocks are best avoided now.
