Fun fact: WSB bans discussion of penny/microcap stocks, which is why none of these tickers show up in that subreddit.

  GME had a market cap below $1B between April and November 2020[0], and somehow DFV could still make his posts. The rules didn't say that the limit was $1B in September,[2] that was only added later.[1] [0]: https://www.macrotrends.net/stocks/charts/GME/gamestop/market-cap https://www.macrotrends.net/stocks/charts/GME/gamestop/marke...

    GME however was a fallen titan. Also, being a sub member since 2014 - pennystocks were always frowned upon.

    This is a case of needing more explicit rules to enforce the intent of the ambiguous existing ones. >any other worthless securities that are susceptible to scams or pump & dump schemes. As for GME, Penny stock designation technically requires that the stock not trade on a major exchange. GME was never de-listed.

      Penny stock designation has nothing to do with exchange listings, that’s OTC. Penny stock designation starts when the stock price is $5 or below.
