Better Meme Stock: AMC Entertainment or Tilray?

2021 might one day be known in investing history as the year of the meme stocks. Several stocks have gone viral online in recent months. Their popularity on the internet has translated into big gains.

AMC Entertainment (NYSE: AMC) and Tilray (NASDAQ: TLRY) stand out as two very different meme stocks that have attracted a lot of attention this year. AMC was a short squeeze play several months ago that has roared back after a temporary lull. Its shares have skyrocketed more than 2,500% year to date. Tilray enjoyed a big run-up early in the year as investors anticipated the merger between the company and Aphria. The pot stock is still up close to 190% after giving up some of its previous gains.

Which of these two meme stocks is the better pick for investors? Here's how AMC and Tilray stack up against each other.
