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.

AMC stock forecast

Other meme stocks were picking up some steam on Tuesday including both AMC and GameStop. The two original meme stocks had been somewhat left on the sidelines, but discussion on Twitter and Reddit boards have increased significantly. FuboTV (NYSE:FUBO) closed the day higher by 45%, as short squeezers took no prisoners during Tuesday’s session.
