What is Tendies?
In early 2021 traders from Reddit's subreddit /r/wallstreetbets (WSB) board popularized this term to refer to investment gains. Especially gains that that were quick, easy and carried a high risk profile. As such the gains referred to by tendies are ones that are from day trading and not long term investing.
Note: Tendies has carried this definition for a number of years. It just became more popular "profit" slang in early 2021.
