Once again on Tuesday, all of the news was about struggling home furnishing retailer Bed Bath and Beyond (NASDAQ:BBBY). The meme stock of the moment continued to squeeze higher and was up by more than 70% at one point during intraday trading. The rally lost some of its steam by the closing bell and shares closed the day up by only 29%. Reddit investors piled into BBBY after a report showed that GameStop (NYSE:GME) Chairman Ryan Cohen had purchased out-of-the-money call options for BBBY. The strike price of these options are between $60 and $80, with an expiration of January 2023.

FuboTV (NYSE:FUBO) closed the day higher by 45%, as short squeezers took no prisoners during Tuesday’s session.
