We like the stock!

This is a rallying cry for people excited about the stock of a specific company. It became popularized on r/wallstreetbets during the 2021 short squeeze of GameStop's shares (GME), which were being short-sold at a high level by major hedge funds. The high number of buys by WSB forced the hedge funds to repurchase the shares at a much higher price and therefore at a tremendous loss, allowing wage-earning millennials to stick it to Wall St traders and their boomer clients. The millennials who still came out at a loss thought it was worth it.
CNBC: "Surely GME won't go up to $1000."

A very consistent name for the movie.

See, there is an idiom "lock stock and barrel" which means "entirely, from top to bottom".

Also "Lock" is a slang for weed, "Stock" for money, and "barrel" for itself. The major elements in the movie are "copious amounts of ganja", £500,000.00 debt, and two antique shotguns which are used to fight Rory Breaker - who, by the way, is the most cruel and coolest gangster in the world.
It seemed meaningless and lame as a movie name at first, but it all appeared to me when I saw it. It was truely "Lock, Stock, and Two Smoking Barrels".
