August 26, 2021: -On Tuesday, Meme stock king GameStop rallied 27% as some retail investors came back in full force despite an otherwise quiet market.

Clover Health climbed almost 10%. Bed Bath & Beyond increased by over 4%. Robinhood, earning a meme stock status, advanced 9% on Tuesday on no apparent news.
Outside of the group favored by retail investors, the stock market seemed dull, with most investors awaiting a key Federal Reserve summit on Thursday and Friday. The S&P 500 closed on Tuesday’s session 0.2% higher.
According to FactSet, overall volume was light on Tuesday, with the SPDR S&P 500 ETF trading 30 million shares, about half of its 30-day average.
