Three of the favorite words to meme-stock investors are “short-squeeze stocks.”  These are stocks where short sellers, betting for a fall in the company’s share price, are squeezed out of their short positions due to an unexpected, rapid increase in the share price.   The higher the short interest, the greater the potential short squeeze.
