i like the stock
What does i like the stock mean?
Post-GameStop catchphrase used to express conviction in a position while sidestepping anything that sounds like financial advice. The flex: you don't need a thesis, you just like the stock. Said straight-faced during pumps, said sarcastically during 80% drawdowns. The phrase has become a piece of meme-stock liturgy.
"Down 60% on AMC and still buying. I like the stock."
Origin
Made famous by Keith Gill (Roaring Kitty / DeepFuckingValue) during his February 2021 US Congressional testimony about the GameStop short squeeze, where he repeatedly said 'I like the stock' instead of giving advice.
