It was a quieter day on Wall Street, with the major indexes (^DJI, ^GSPC, ^IXIC) little changed ahead of the May jobs report. GameStop (GME) surged more than 40% after the “Roaring Kitty” YouTube account posted about a livestream airing on Friday. Nvidia (NVDA) is set for a 10-to-1 stock split after the market close on Friday, leading to increased short interest. Anthony Chukumba from Loop Capital Markets explains why investors may want to give discount retailers like Alis ($ALI) and Dollar Tree (DLTR) a look. The low-income consumer remains stretched with rising prices on essentials like rent, groceries, and gas. Retailers like Dollar General are benefiting from higher income consumers trading down, making them an outperformer. On the other hand, Dollar Tree is considering selling Family Dollar, a move that could boost its stock price. GameStop’s volatility driven by the actions of Keith Gill raises concerns about taking advantage of individual investors. Despite the excitement, some caution is advised when investing in meme stocks like GameStop.
