‘Meme Stock’ influencer Trey’s Trades now speaks on AMC and its CEO following a post on X that has garnished much controversy.
Since the company’s latest move to sell 50 million shares and raise a whopping $184 million, there has been division amongst investors who either support or oppose the decision.
Supporters understand that the company must raise capital to secure its financial future.
Those who oppose argue these decisions have deteriorated their entire shareholder value.
Trey’s Trades, known for sparking the movement behind ‘AMC Apes’ in 2021 and for sharing his thesis and analysis on YouTube has made a lowkey return to social media.
Trey Collins, AKA Trey’s Trades, played a massive and influential role in the unprecedented price surge of AMC Entertainment stock during the ‘meme stock frenzy’ of 2021 when price rose to an all-time high of $72 per share.
The beloved influencer gained the attention of AMC Entertainment CEO Adam Aron, which further fueled to the optimism and conviction of holding the stock at the time.
After the price surge, Collins disappeared, leaving his most trusting supporters and a massive community which sparked a new culture behind.
Trey recently published a video on YouTube highlighting some of the challenges and roadblocks he’s faced after the events that changed the financial world forever.
His story post the ‘meme stock’ frenzy of 21′ came as quite the shock.
Forward to today, Trey has taken it to social media platform X, formerly Twitter, to share his thoughts on an issue AMC CEO Adam Aron has brought to the table.
Trey’s Trades Holds AMC CEO Accountable
Following the scrutiny of retail investors, CEO Adam Aron reached out to Elon Musk on X during the last week of January to “ban the bots!”, after receiving “vile and repugnant comments”.
Aron stated:
“Here’s a challenge for Elon Musk, about his beloved X/Twitter.
I’ve posted/tweeted more than 5,000 times since 2011.
I know what I’m talking about.
Ban the bots!
Some of the most vile and repugnant comments posted on social media are not written by human beings but instead are created by machines.
Are they programmed by those with dark or nefarious intentions?
@elonmusk [.] Humans should enjoy the precious right of free speech.
Not robots programmed to distort or mislead.
However, many of the comments scrutinizing the CEO are indeed real people, with Trey’s Trades highlighting the importance of taking accountability.
“I gotta lotta love for the people who hold this company, but absolutely no love for you,” said Collins on X.
“The overwhelming majority of vile and repugnant comments you receive are a product of your own decisions, not Elon’s [.]”
Trey further argues that majority of the company’s cash “earned” came out of the pocket of retail investors, rather than actual consumers.
“Nonetheless, I hope deeply everybody in it gets retarded rich,” he stated.
The response came as a shock to fans and long-time supporters.
Though it is fair to mention that many investors also championed his outspoken criticism.
While there is no right or wrong way to view what is happening with AMC Entertainment, the individual whose money is on the line is ultimately entitled to their own opinion on the decisions made by execs.
However, these differences should not divide investors, but rather allow for productive and a constructive exchange of ideas.
And if you’re looking for some positive AMC Entertainment news, the company is expected to break even this year and finally begin to see profits in 2026 — you can read the full report here.
But I’m curious to know what you think — leave your thoughts in the comment section below.
