If You Had $1,000 Right Now, Would You Put It On AMC Entertainment Or GameStop?

Every week, Benzinga conducts a survey to collect sentiment on what traders are most excited about, interested in or thinking about as they manage and build their personal portfolios.

With several meme stocks surging higher in recent sessions, we posed the following question to over 1,000 Benzinga readers: If you had $1,000, would you put it on AMC Entertainment Holdings Inc AMC or GameStop Corp. GME right now?

Here are the results from this week’s survey:

• AMC: 55.2%
• GameStop: 44.8%

A majority of readers backed AMC in this week's survey, with the world’s largest theater chain leading the way.

Per Swaggy Stocks, GameStop and AMC are the first- and second-most-mentioned tickers Wednesday morning on the popular subreddit WallStreetBets.

According to data from Benzinga Pro, AMC closed Wednesday sharply lower at $25.68. AMC is trading higher by 40% over the trailing five sessions.
