Good morning.
A year ago, shares of Gamestop (GME) could be bought for under $5. The retail operation was seen as on its last legs. But then Michael Burry, of The Big Short fame became a fan. So too, did the posters of Wall Street Bets, a subreddit of traders looking for their next play. They were fans in regards to a short-squeeze thesis, given how many shares were already being held short. That played out spectacularly on Friday.
Shares, which were as low as $12 just a month ago, closed on Thursday at $43 and surged nearly 70 percent intraday to a high of $76, before being halted. The exchange halt caused shares to stop heading higher, and may mark an end of the rally — or not. Traders looking for their next big win might be wise to take a look at other heavily-shorted stocks for a similar explosive rally. They may also want to look out below when the buying frenzy stops.
Now here’s the rest of the news:
