On Monday, shares of BBBY tumbled by a further 16.23% and closed the trading session at a price of $9.24. Stocks pulled way back on Monday, erasing much of the recent summer rally.

The surprisingly abrupt end to the Bed Bath and Beyond meme stock is still resonating with meme stock traders. GameStop (NYSE:GME) Chairman Ryan Cohen sold his stake and all of his call options in the midst of a short squeeze, and took most of the profits. This obviously didn’t sit well with most traders, many of whom are still left holding the bag of a business that certainly does not have a favorable future. Almost all of the gains made from the short squeeze for BBBY have now been lost.
