Stocks Reporter FXStreet

NYSE:AMC tumbled on Thursday as the once leader of the meme stock revolution fell for the eleventh consecutive session in January. Shares of AMC plummeted by 8.91% and closed the trading session at $14.52. Surprise, surprise, yet another day where all three major indices close the session in the red. The Dow Jones had a minimal loss, while the S&P 500 fell by 0.54%. The NASDAQ led the way lower once again as the tech-heavy index dropped by 1.40% after weakness in stocks like Tesla (NASDAQ:TSLA), which fell by 11.55% following its quarterly earnings report.

Thursday marked the one year anniversary to one of the biggest days in the original meme stock short squeeze. On this day in 2021, AMC’s stock jumped from a closing price of $4.96 to an opening price of $20.34 as over 1.2 billion shares changed hands. Despite the stock price falling back down the next week, it was one of the first true squeezes that retail traders coordinated with meme stocks. Fittingly, the platform at the center of the squeeze, Robinhood (NASDAQ:HOOD) fell to its lowest levels as a publicly traded company on Thursday following another disappointing earnings report.

AMC stock forecast

AMC’s fellow meme stock, GameStop (NYSE:GME), fell to its lowest levels in nearly a year as well on Thursday. As much pain as AMC shareholders have been in this year, GameStop shares have also dropped by 39% so far in 2022. Despite an ongoing digital transformation and a new NFT integration with the gaming industry, the markets seem to be losing patience with GameStop and its business.

Warsh needs to restore his reputation

We were glad to see our deeply negative reaction to the Warsh press conference was not some personal peculiarity. Just about everybody in the financial press felt the same way. The consensus is building it’s not the Fed in the dog-house but only Warsh. Today the WSJ changed it tune and blasted Warsh—"the honeymoon is already over..”

9-3: Is the Federal Reserve’s vote tally Warsh's new forward guidance?

The rate did not move. Neither did the statement, and that’s the more interesting fact. Set the July 29 Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) statement beside the one issued on June 17, and the two documents are identical apart from a single verb and a paragraph at the bottom naming three dissenters.
