Stonks is credited as an Internet meme that emerged on a Facebook group called Special Meme Fresh in 2017. The meme features a generic man in a business suit and a red arrow pointing upwards toward a blue, electronic stock quotation board.
The meme shows the word stonks, in white, below a bright orange, upward-pointing arrow that points upward. The arrow that points upwards indicates that stock prices are rising. The man's body appears human and realistic, but his head has been replaced with an animated head that is very plain and unusual looking, likely on purpose. This unknown, cartoonish man stands in front of a stock quote board. It’s unclear who actually created the image.
