NYSE:GME edged higher on Thursday but still managed to lag the broader markets as all three major indices bounced back following two days of volatility. Shares of GME gained 0.96% and closed the trading day at $181.56. It was a much better day for the markets on Thursday as the Dow Jones bounced back by 617 basis points despite a bearish day from both Apple (NASDAQ:AAPL) and Microsoft (NASDAQ:MSFT). The tech-heavy NASDAQ rose by 0.83%, while the benchmark S&P 500 jumped higher by 1.42%. Growth stocks were hammered once again though, with the valuations of high flying tech companies getting slashed once again.
