2 Reddit Stocks to Buy and Hold for Years
Reddit became a household name among the investor community last year when the users of the social media platform banded together in a subreddit group called wallstreetbets. The group hyped up the shares of gaming retailer GameStop to create a short squeeze for investors, bringing down a hedge fund in the process and displaying a newfound might for the retail investor.
Since then, Reddit has remained a meeting place for activist individual investors. Like the GameStop phenomenon, many popular Reddit stocks are risky plays not designed with a long-term mindset. But some popular Reddit investments are excellent long-term buys, including Amazon (NASDAQ: AMZN) and the Vanguard S&P 500 ETF (NYSEMKT: VOO), an exchange-traded fund.
