Meme Stock Phenomenon - Meme stocks experience volatile price swings unrelated to business fundamentals, often involving heavily shorted, cheap stocks [4] - Retail investors leverage social media to drive up stock prices, challenging institutional investors [3][8] - GameStop's surge, fueled by Reddit users, demonstrated the potential for massive gains and losses, impacting hedge funds [9][10] - Kohl's, like other recognizable brands, became a target for meme stock activity due to its household name and high short interest [11][12] Kohl's Business Performance - Kohl's stock experienced a 100% surge due to meme stock activity, despite underlying business performance being just "okay" [1] - From July 2021 to July 2025, Kohl's stock price decreased by approximately 85% [17] - Between 2019 and 2024, beauty and accessory sales increased by 38% due to the Sephora partnership, but overall sales decreased by 18.5%, and excluding beauty, sales decreased by around 26% [19] - Kohl's has lost 1.3 million customers over five years to competitors [17] Risks and Outlook - Short selling involves borrowing and selling stock, hoping to buy it back at a lower price, but losses can be exponential if the price rises [5][6] - Wild stock swings can distract from Kohl's need to focus on day-to-day operations [21] - While not in immediate danger of bankruptcy, Kohl's faces challenges and needs to experiment with different strategies under an interim CEO [18][19][20] - Predicting the next meme stock is difficult, but companies with household names and high short interest are potential candidates [14][16]

This time around it's not GameStop, AMC, or Bed Bath and Beyond.The new batch of meme darlings are the likes of Kohl's, GoPro, Crispy Cream, and Wendy's.

正常来说应该盘前低流动性拉盘，才有人会去打预售。Wlfi第一轮1.5b的市值打1.5亿刀，都打了几个月，即便trump发币后，也有2天的时候可以打。最后还是孙哥直接塞了1500万刀才瞬间结束的。这pump 4b的市值打6亿刀....我真不知道不拉盘怎么塞满，所有有硬顶的打新，都是一群人观望，等进度到40%-50%才开始加速打钱。但是这个有盘前合约，理论可以套保打预售。不过，我应该不会这么玩，或者玩太大仓位，以前被那种锁仓的坑怕了。最后，如果是前几天的大盘，如果盘前合约不拉，那就可以直接做裸空了。低流动性都不拉盘合约pvp，难道开现货一堆人打进去了，拉盘送钱吗？结论：我认为应该要拉盘前，才会有人打预售。如果盘前都不拉，那么开盘更没人接盘，应该做空。谨慎套保打预售，防止搞锁仓等幺蛾子。 ...
