2021 is only one month old, but the market has already seen a year’s worth of excitement after being rocked by an unprecedented short squeeze. As you probably know, a short squeeze that began with a group of traders on Reddit’s WallStreetBets page bidding up GameStop (NYSE: GME) has spread to a wide range of consumer stocks with several having jumped by multiples in just a few days.
While that’s been the dominant market narrative in the last week, there are some stocks that are moving higher on legitimate news.
Let’s take a look at some of the big winners from the massive short squeeze and those that have jumped for other reasons.
