GameStop+40.60%
GameStop soars over 110% in premarket
Shares of video game retailer GameStop soared over 110% in the premarket even though the company's quarterly results were down. However, investors kept buying both the stock and the options, which drove the price further up. When a share's price rises too quickly, short-sellers are forced to buy even more stock to cover their losses.
Meanwhile, Tesla's CEO Elon Musk tweeted about the stock calling it "Gamestonk" on Tuesday which caused a 40% jump in the price.
GameStop's shares jumped by 116.58% to $320.26 in premarket trading at 5:38 am ET.
