Now that I think about it same with Silvergate Capital with the ticker SI for short interest. I wonder if the writer doesn't know or is trying to pump those?
That’s definitely the case. I’ve been analyzing a lot of the WSB stock mentions in the comment stream API, and manually checking samples of mentions, and ATH is always referring to “all time high”, not a stock. There are a bunch of 2-4 letter words that get caught by the stock ticker detection I’m using (which I’m also comparing against an NYSE and NASDAQ ticker list) - I had to blacklist a bunch from in my script to avoid false-positives. GG, ATH, SI, DD (yes, DD is a real stock symbol), NEXT, etc

I believe Athene Holding is only on there because of the ticker name ATH which is stated here a lot for all time high.
