The stock price of Gamestop (GME.US) is again soaring, surprising those who thought stock price would stabilise after its recent shock rally and catastrophic dive which shook Wall Street. The video game retailer’s stock jumped nearly 100% in premarket, after more than doubling on Wednesday. Meanwhile other so-called “meme stocks” – favoured by Reddit’s traders, also move sharply higher. AMC Entertainment (AMC.US) rose 18%, BlackBerry (BB.US) gained nearly 9% and Tilray (TLRY.US) added more than 10%.
Without a clear buying catalyst, many believe that the recent upward move was again caused by the retail traders from the Wall Street Bets message board.
