SIEB Soars as Reddit Feed Targets Another Short Squeeze
Brokerage Firm Siebert Soars as Reddit Feed Targets Another Short Squeeze
SIEB spiked Friday after the brokerage firm became the latest stock to attract the attention of ordinary investors prompted by a Reddit message board called WallStreetBets.
Siebert, which does retail brokerage business through its Muriel Siebert subsidiary, said that it has not released any news on Friday, Dow Jones reported.
WallStreetBets has been trying to collectively push shares of these companies higher in a bid to force hedge funds and other large investors to abandon their short positions -- bets that stock prices will decline -- in those companies.
