The last week has been characterized with interest in meme stocks led by Bed Bath & Beyond. Retail investors grew curious that GameStop Chairman Ryan Cohen held onto his BBBY stake. That was revealed in a Tuesday filing, igniting interest in sister meme stocks GME and AMC. Both stocks were already gaining as risk-on sentiment gripped retail investors. A day later, Cohen was back with the intention to sell the entire stake. That forced a crash that wiped out the previous day’s gains.
