GameStop Corp.'s stock price has skyrocketed in recent days, fueled by a surge in retail trading activity on Reddit's WallStreetBets subreddit. The stock has risen from $20 per share in January to over $150 per share today, a gain of over 600%. The surge in trading volume is being fueled by a group of Reddit users who are buying shares in an attempt to drive up the stock price and squeeze short sellers.
The short squeeze is a phenomenon that occurs when a stock's price rises rapidly, forcing short sellers to buy back their borrowed shares at a higher price. This can lead to a further increase in the stock price and a cascade of buying activity. The short squeeze in GameStop is being fueled by a surge in retail trading activity on Reddit's WallStreetBets subreddit. The subreddit is a forum where users discuss stock trading and investment strategies.
The surge in GameStop's stock price has caught the attention of regulators, who are investigating whether the trading activity is being manipulated. The Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) is investigating the trading activity and has issued a warning to investors about the risks of investing in highly volatile stocks. The SEC is also investigating whether any individuals or entities are engaging in manipulative trading practices.
