Meme-stock investors bowed at the feet of its god yesterday. But, of course, I’m speaking about GameStop (GME), the video game retailer-turned-collectibles and cryptocurrency purveyor. The company turned its first quarterly profit in two years.
As a result, GME share and options volume was off the charts Wednesday. The stock gained over 35% with a volume of nearly 67 million, 10x its 30-day average. Regarding options, 697,178 contracts traded hands yesterday, 7x the average daily volume.
