Key insights
- A basket of WSB's top stock picks for 2026 significantly underperformed the SPY in Q1. The portfolio, equally weighted, is down -13.66% YTD versus SPY's -7%. Only NBIS and MU are up, but the author suggests shorting them. This highlights the risk of following WSB's investment advice and the potential for meme stocks to decline.
At the end of 2025, there was a thread here in which people picked their stocks to watch for 2026.
10 stocks were picked based on how many times they were mentioned in that thread.
This is how they have performed year to date:
1 ASTS: 0.4% 2 RKLB: -17.5% 3 GOOGL/GOOG: -13% 4 AMZN: -12.4% 5 NBIS: 7.2% 6 RDDT: -46.1% 7 MU: 8.7% 8 IREN: -17.9% 9 TSLA: -21.9% 10 PLTR: -24.1%
If you put 10% of your portfolio into each of those 10 stocks, you would be at-13.66% YTD, while SPY is at -7% YTD.
The only wsb stocks that are still up are NBIS and MU, which are still worth shorting.
WSB is heading for the Wendy dumpster.
