Tasty's research team compiled extensive analytics on meme stocks, shares that surge due to social media hype rather than fundamentals. Key identification signals include explosive trading volume, high call-put ratios, substantial short interest, and rising social media mentions.

Analysis of 237 meme events showed momentum trading produced only a 28% win rate, while fade strategies yielded better results. Selling 30-delta credit spreads into volatility spikes achieved a 73% win rate.

The researchers emphasized risk management with the "2050 rule": limit exposure to 2% of account value per trade, exit positions down 20%, and take partial profits at 50% gains. Their conclusion: meme stocks are short-term trading vehicles, not investments.
