Overall, the Dow Jones added a modest gain of 29 basis points, while the S&P 500 and the NASDAQ dipped by 0.12% and 0.10% respectively during the session.

Meme stock investors were back at it on Monday as they sent GameStop, AMC (NYSE:AMC), and Bed Bath and Beyond (NASDAQ:BBBY) surging higher. Bed Bath and Beyond was the biggest winner with a 39.8% rise during the session. There weren't really any catalysts for BBBY, other than a high short interest and social media chatter. As we now know, this has proven to be enough to send even the unlikeliest stock candidate to a squeeze on any given day.

There hasn’t been anything that explains this recent resurgence from meme stocks, other than a warning from AMC CEO Adam Aron last week.
