GameStop (NYSE:GME) – GameStop shares are
volatile in pre-market trading on Friday, after soaring nearly 50%
the day before, following the announcement by the influencer known
as “Roaring Kitty” of an upcoming live broadcast on YouTube today
at 12 PM, Eastern Time (ET). Since Gill resumed social media
activities in May, GameStop’s market value has increased by $11
billion. This rise is part of a pattern of volatile trading
influenced by his activities. Gill’s broadcast has garnered over
12,000 registrations. The stock reversed from a gain of over 30% to
a 16.4% drop in pre-market trading shortly after the video game
retailer announced its first-quarter results.

company’s inclusion in the Dow Jones, which is price-weighted.

attracted insurers due to attractive returns, especially in the
