Meme Stocks Surge Again, Raising Market Integrity Concerns

GameStop and AMC see dramatic price increases, echoing 2021's trading frenzy driven by retail investors and social media.

GameStop's stock price jumped over 60% on May 14, with AMC Entertainment rising 32%.
The surge was partly triggered by a social media post from 'Roaring Kitty,' a key figure in the 2021 meme stock phenomenon.
Analysts warn that the rapid price increases are not supported by fundamental business improvements.
Regulators are scrutinizing the trading activity for potential market manipulation and systemic risks.
Experts suggest that while retail traders may profit short-term, the volatility poses significant risks.
