I think that using the term "meme stock" is financial advice.

Sounds like a way of conveying an authoritative judgement on the viabilty of a particular ticker. I don't think unlicensed people like journalists shoukd be able to legally use that language.

There should also be additional restrictions on articles that are written by automated software.

or at least a legal requirement to disclose when items are created by automated software!

I have a sneaking suspicion that a good portion of financial daily articles are automated - but there's no way to actually prove that.

@Chives @regolith I bet the majority of financial "articles" are using some kind of automation. Like stock ABC increased/decreased x% due to ( search news about Company/Serctor) . Rinse and repeat.

Some times too early, old man voice "back in my day, when the auto articles outlining event came out they were before the events".
