GameStop Options Trade Nets $550K After Influencer's Post

 

A well-timed GameStop options trade delivered a significant $550K profit on Friday. This came after a cryptic social media post from "Roaring Kitty," also known as Keith Gill, a famous stock influencer. The post featured an altered image from the 1999 movie "Toy Story 2" with a dog's face on one of the characters. This was Gill's first social media activity in more than two months, triggering intense interest from retail traders.


GameStop shares surged as much as 9% after Gill's post, but later settled at a 4% increase. Just 18 minutes before his tweet, a trader bought around 10,000 GameStop call options, each with a $22.5 strike price. The cost of this trade was approximately $1.74 million. Shortly after Gill's post, this same trader sold two blocks of 5,000 contracts, netting around $2.20 million.

  A NASA spacecraft embarked on a mission on Monday to explore Jupiter's intriguing moon. Europa, in hopes of uncovering whether its vast hidden ocean might offer clues to the existence of life. Europa Clipper will take 5 1/2 years to reach Jupiter, where it will enter orbit around the gas giant and conduct dozens of flybys of Europa, braving intense radiation. Scientists are confident that a deep global ocean lies beneath Europa's icy shell. With water often considered a key to life, Europa is regarded as one of the most promising places in the search for extraterrestrial life. The Europa Clipper isn't designed to detect life directly. Instead, it will focus on identifying the building blocks essential for life, such as organic compounds, and look beneath the ice for conditions that could support life.

UBC Creates Affordable, Portable Device to Detect Microplastics in Drinks

Image
  Researchers at the University of British Columbia have developed a portable device that can inexpensively measure the amount of microplastics in beverages and other liquids. Tianxi Yang, the developer of the tool, states in a UBC news release that microplastics are a "significant threat" to food safety, health, and the environment, and that affordable detection of these particles could help mitigate their risks. Microplastic particles can originate from the degradation of items like plastic cups or utensils. contaminating food or drinks that might then be ingested or absorbed into the body. These plastics pose a health risk due to their capacity to absorb toxins and penetrate bodily barriers, with their long-term effects still under investigation.
