Older Investors of /r/stocks, what were the ‘meme’ stocks from the past that turned out to be extremely successful? What were the critiques?


I'm sure of today's speculative picks, some of them will turn out to be very successful. In /r/stocks, we love taking risks, so everyone is constantly putting out a bull case.

What were the SOFI, UPST, CLOV, PLTR, WISH, … stocks of the pre-2000s, or immediately post financial crisis, etc, that turned to be great picks?

AMD used to be trading like a penny stock, for example. Was it a 'meme' stock?

Obviously, every stock was once very cheap, but I'm looking for ones that had a 'meme' flavor in that they seemed absurd, pumped by excited investors while disparaged by the traditional big players.

Or perhaps, in what time period was it of a 'meme' variety, and when did it become a serious stock?
