Portfolio Pulse from Chris Katje
Roundhill Investments CEO Dave Mazza discussed the potential short-lived nature of the current meme stock rally, driven by renewed interest in stocks like GameStop (GME) and AMC Entertainment (AMC). The MEME ETF was closed in November 2023 due to low assets and trading volume. Roundhill's other ETFs, including MAGS and CHAT, are performing well, with significant holdings in major tech companies. A new ETF focused on weight-loss drugs is also in the pipeline.
