We are halfway through the week, short-sellers are feeling the pain, and investors are showing interest in a meme coin called Chibi Inu (CCC:CHIBI-USD). Beyond all that, what else did the stock market do today? Dive in with InvestorPlace below. Source: Shutterstock The S&P 500 closed higher by 0.19% The Dow Jones Industrial Average is up by 0.03% The Nasdaq Composite is up by 0.59% So what else did the stock market do today? Here are some of the top stories. What Did the Stock Market Do Today? Pump GameStop. Going into Tuesday, posters on r/WallStreetBets were largely focused on Virgin Galactic (NYSE:SPCE), following a successful test flight. SPCE stock prices were up, as was comment volume on the subreddit. For many retail investors, commercial spaceflight was the perfect moonshot. That all changed in just a few hours thanks to the resurgence of short squeeze hopes. Now, it seems that meme stocks like GameStop (NYSE:GME) and AMC Entertainment (NYSE:AMC) are once again supreme. But things are different then the first short-squeeze frenzy. According to data from Fintel, the short interest on GME stock is at 24%. For AMC, that figure comes in at 27%. While those numbers are certainly elevated compared to…

What else would you expect from someone who looks like this? Photo: Jon Kopaloff/FilmMagic As you’ve probably seen all over your news feeds, Ariana Grande recently got married to Dalton Gomez, formerly known as her real-estate boyfriend and just a regular guy. There wasn’t much known about the seemingly impromptu wedding, aside from that it “was tiny and intimate” and that “the room was so happy and full of love,” as a rep for Grande previously told People. Yep, sounds like a wedding to me! Now, Grande has given the people what we want: a bunch of wedding pics. On Wednesday, Grande shared a series of photos from the wedding on Instagram, captioned with the couple’s new anniversary: “5.15.21.” Celebrities including Lizzo, Bella Hadid, Seth Rogen, and 2 Chainz congratulated the singer on her nuptials in the comments. According to Vogue, Grande was styled by Vera Wang, as the designer had promised Grande she’d one day do when the two met at the Met Gala a few years ago. Per the pictures, Grande wore a classic veil and white dress with a low-cut back — both very bridal and very Ariana Grande. She wore a half-ponytail, which is understandable, as…

Gurvin Singh Dyal has a story that immediately draws you in. He came to people’s attention as the 20-year-old medical student who handed out free cash to strangers on the streets of Plymouth. Several online articles detailed how he turned £200 into £100,000 through “forex” trading – buying and selling currency, and making profits or losses depending on the value of the trade going up or down. His Instagram pictures confirmed this, by displaying his lavish lifestyle: one showed him leaning on a gold Maserati. I was 23 and working as an accountant for a fashion company when I came across Singh. I was still living at home with my parents; a good salary had allowed me to save up £17,000 but the long-term goal was to buy a place of my own. So when I saw that Singh was starting a new company called GS3 Trades, which he said would allow him to trade on behalf of anyone who invested via his scheme, potentially allowing others to make money off of his trading activity, it felt like a no-brainer. Just six months later, all £17,000 of my savings were gone. It is estimated that Singh duped over 1,000 other…

For many of those who grew up on the internet, the world wide web offered access to a community that may not have been reachable offline. On Tumblr, where users are twice as likely to be lesbian, gay or another sexuality, these connections proved vital to navigating and surviving the mental health struggles that nearly three-fourths of LGBTQ Generation Z users reported in a recent survey. If you were on Tumblr in its heyday — or still are today — you can skip ahead. For those who weren’t, the microblogging and social networking website founded in 2007 was popularized in the 2010s by teen and college-age users sharing everything from their OTP (One True Pairing) to their deepest and darkest secrets (think a diary, but online and with multimedia).READ MORE LGBTQ+ STORIES FROM CHANGING AMERICATENNESSEE PASSES BILL REQUIRING BUSINESSES TO POST SIGNS SAYING THEY ALLOW TRANS PEOPLE TO USE THEIR BATHROOMSFLORIDA’S NEW BAN ON TRANSGENDER STUDENTS IN SPORTS WOULD ALLOW SCHOOLS TO SUBJECT MINORS TO GENITAL INSPECTIONSNCAA BACKS TRANSGENDER ATHLETES, SAYS IT WON’T HOLD CHAMPIONSHIPS AT PLACES THAT AREN’T ‘FREE OF DISCRIMINATION’NEW NC BILL WOULD REQUIRE SCHOOLS TO TELL PARENTS IF A CHILD ‘EXHIBITS GENDER NONCONFORMITY’Almost half of 1,000 LGBTQ Gen…
