The aim of this paper is twofold. First to empirically explore the GameStop stock surge that
occurred in January 2021 from the behavioral finance perspective and second to analyze the
impact of retail investor sentiment expressed on Reddit's WallStreetBets using Natural
language processing (NLP). By following a quantitative methodology which included
correlation analysis, regression models, and Granger causality tests, this research seeks to
prove the effect of retail investor sentiment in the the abnormal movements of GameStop
stock prices. By integrating and applying key theories of behavioral finance Herding, Fear of
Missing Out (FOMO), this research shows that there are clear patterns that are highly
suggestive of profound correlations between social media-driven sentiment and how this
amplifies these biases. The findings empirically demonstrate that sentiment on
WallstreetsBets had an influence on Gamestop stock price and how the present biases can
disrupt market normalcy and develop new viewpoints in a digitally impacted financial era.
