(Reuters) -Shares of GameStop surged nearly 50% on Thursday after the online stock influencer known as "Roaring Kitty" posted on YouTube that he would host a livestream on Friday.
Thursday's surge was the latest in a bout of volatile trading in the struggling videogame seller's shares that kicked off last month after the influencer, whose real name is Keith Gill, returned to X.com after a three-year hiatus.
Uh-oh! Daily quota reached.
