Why are GameStop shares on the rise again?
The stock for video game retailer GameStop closed up 74% on Monday, harkening back to the buying frenzy in January 2021 fueled by traders on Reddit. Martin Baccardax, senior editor and chief markets correspondent for TheStreet, joins CBS News to examine what could be behind the stock's sudden surge.

I feel investors should be focusing on under-the-radar stocks, and considering the current rollercoaster nature of the stock market, Because 35% of my $270k portfolio comprises of plummeting stocks which were once revered and i don't know where to go here out of devastation.

Many people underestimate the importance of advisors until they experience the consequences of their own emotional decisions. I recall a few summers ago, following a lengthy divorce, I found myself in need of a substantial boost to sustain my business. In my search for licensed advisors, I found someone highly qualified who significantly contributed to growing my reserves despite inflation, increasing from $275,000 to $850,000.

Safest approach i feel to tackle it is to diversify investments. By spreading investments across different asset classes, like bonds, real estate, and international stocks, they can reduce the impact of a market meltdown. its important to seek the guidance of an expert.

Yes, I've been in constant touch with a Financial Analyst for approximately 8 months. You know, these days it's really easy to buy into trending stocks, but the task is determining when to sell or keep. That's where my manager comes in, to help me with entry and exit points in the industries I'm engaged in. Can’t say I regret it, I’m 40% up in profits just in 5months with my initial capital of $160k

How can one find a verifiable financial planner? I would not mind looking up the professional that helped you. I will be retiring in two years and I might need some management on my much larger portfolio. Don't want to take any chances.

everyone needs to invest in time its our fight against hedgfonds manager and other corrupt people
This complete interview is the perfect example of the bad actors throwing the stone and hiding the hand... Gamestop stock has a huge amount of shares held by retail who have been holding for 3 years. In fact a very large percentage of the retail holders have directly registered their shares with Computershare. The buying volume today wasn't all or hugely influenced by Roaring Kitty it was over-leveraged hedgefunds blowing up. In this "interview "... no mention of abusive naked shorting, rehypothication, illiquidity of the market. Why can't this "expert" tell the truth? The hedgefunds messed around with retail with all of their loopholes hoping for companies like Gamestop, AMC, KOSS to go bankrupt but they survived and now they are forced to buy back all of those counterfeit shares before the SEC's CAT system goes live exposing their corruption and exposing them to prison time.
As much as i want to invest in GME, I think it has some short term pain ahead. Currently sitting on about 250k, do you still think GME is a good buy right now or I have I missed out on a crucial buy period?

The economy and stocks are two different things these days, but i agree, I think it's brilliant to have a portfolio advisor for investing! The market's instability makes DIY risky. You don't need to find the next NVDA to succeed in investing. I've turned 480k into $32,000 in quarterly dividends using one, a major milestone.

I'm cautious about giving specific recommendations as everyone's situation varies. Consider independent financial advisors like "JENNIFER LEIGH HICKMAN" I've worked with her for 9 years and highly recommend her. Check if she meets your criteria.
Oh so if civilians try to make a buck there’s rules created and it’s illegal but insider trading and market manipulation it’s ok right… right

Retail buying. No, is as retail have been buying for the last 3 years. We have been buying and holding, this isn’t retail who bought 180 million worth today. This is what we don’t watch the news folks. This is shorts starting to slowly cover, institutional buying, gamma and a whole lot more, but you guys won’t mention this

Lets talk about all the fake shares created through FTX.
Are there fundamentals not improving for GME with a profit last quarter and over $1 billion in cash on hand?
It’s funny to see mainstream underplay his investment. He brilliantly caused a short squeeze due to intelligent analysis. A phenomenal value play. A company can be doing extremely poorly but still be undervalued
explaining a meme is cringe
Sure as hell hope that they come back to PUERTO RICO
How about the options Gamma? Would love if at least one MSM outlet would explain the real situation.
Congressmen (Pelosi) can inside trade and call it a free market but wallstreet complains about a meme stock when they lose?. Isn't it a free market?

So let me get this straight. In the "Free Markets" retailers and investment firms can advertise and push their products to no end but a so called influencer having an impact on the "Free Markets" is illegal? Hypocrites plain and simple!
They will all be closed within a year so why not falsify you stock value so when you go bankrupt at least you’ll have your ill gotten gains
Investor here. The tweet was nothing but confirmation bias. It changed nothing. GameStop is doing a buyback, retail is continuing to buy, and total shares borrowed is continuing to increase.
Did u hear that there here to help retail 😂
Was it though?
Stock isn't going up because of Roaring Kitty. Roaring Kitty Tweeted (X'ed) because the stock was already on an upward trend..
Trading app wouldnt let me buy, trying again tomorrow
GAME STOP
Get all your T-bills and put it all into 💥 *Gamestop! Get your deals on new and used games!*
I remember when the stock market reflected on how the economy was doing. Now it seems it’s just the opposite.
Here we go with another guy trying to protect the retail investors🙄
There are going to be some bad losses once the rug is pulled yet again on GME and AMC.
You are telling us that a person tweeted, and the price magically jumped? So do you think people are stupid or what? Who the hell would believe that?

GME time to Stop the Game of short sellers! Haha
By "traditional fundamentals" don't you mean computer algorithms? It's been a long time since the stock market was linked to the real economy in a significant way. It is just a casino for rich people. That seemed to be the point back in 2020. I guess you missed it.

Pure stock market and he is showing the world cracks in the stock market and shows how’s unhinged it is and one side it is to people with millions and billions and a market that is truly truly caters to more wealthy individuals and the governments not the normal person how many times have the stock market crash? Not because of normal people because of greedy as hell wealthy individuals and policies that show that the market is and only one side like last time this happened the stock market is truly flawed to one sided of wealthy individuals.

Jesus christ, i watched thewhole video to give you guys a fair shot. But this is just garbage reporting
the GME saga is a pump and dump disguised as a short squeeze, it was managed so good people never figured out it was a pump and dump. Short squeezes don't form multiple tops and the interest in buyers was more than enough for the price action; in fact despite everything the selling pressure won in the end and the down trend continued. Also it was up trending for weeks in 2022 before the big tops so It don't believe any good traders were holding shorts which was a key part of the narrative. the people who lost money were probably retail traders expecting the countertrend to reverse
