Meme stocks have been making a resurgence in recent weeks. Bed Bath & Beyond and AMC Entertainment Holdings , for instance, have experienced significant volatility of late, surging in value only to end up crashing. Meme stocks are a bit of a roller coaster for investors, and they can lead to extreme profits or extreme losses, depending on when you happen to buy.
One stock that has been showing signs that it could be the next big meme stock is SIGA Technologies (NASDAQ: SIGA) . It has been incredibly volatile of late and may remain so over the weeks and months ahead, and here's why.
