investors congregating on sites like Reddit\u2019s WallStreetBest forum, has made the company the most traded stock in the U.S., according to Deutsche Bank data.<\/p>\n<p>In fact, Deutsche Bank\u2019s

GameStop\u2019s shares is potentially minting millionaires among the individual investor crowd but many short selling investors, those betting that the bricks-and-mortar company, which operates more than 5,000 retail video game stores in the U.S., Canada and Europe, was going to eventually lose value have been forced to unwind their bearish bets, accelerating the stock\u2019s rise.<\/p>\n<p>Hedge

overall are down about 1% at 1pm Eastern.\u00a0 At the same time<a href=\"https:\/\/www.msn.com\/en-us\/money\/topstocks\/gamestop-amc-trading-is-now-being-restricted-at-td-ameritrade\/ar-BB1d9dmv\"> investment brokerages reported curtailing trading<\/a> on GameStop and others:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>Some major brokerage houses have begun to respond to a frenetic surge in the price of shares of companies that has been attributed to rabid buying by individual investors on social-media platforms.<\/p>\n<p>On Wednesday, TD Ameritrade said it was restricting trading for <strong>GameStop<\/strong> and <strong>AMC Entertainment Holdings<\/strong> as well as other names, amid a triple-digit percentage surge in the price of those companies in recent days\u2026<\/p>\n<p>\u2026The restrictive moves come as shares of videogame retailer GameStock have shot up 1,600% in January, as traders gathered in online chat forums to take large bets on the stock using options, often out-of-the-money calls that pay off only if the stock rises in value over a set period.<\/p>\n<p>Traders on sites like Reddit\u2019s WallStreetBets, and using trading platforms like Robinhood, have clashed with hedge-fund investors, sparking a battle between prominent Wall Street short sellers and individual investors in GameStop shares.<\/p>\n<p>A Robinhood spokeswoman said that officials at the popular trading platform \u201ccontinuously monitor the markets and adjust as we feel necessary for the benefit of our customers.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Robinhood said it also moved raised requirements for GME and AMC to 100%, emphasizing that Robinhood doesn\u2019t allow shorting of equities or allow customers to trade naked options.<\/p>\n<p>However, the recent run-up in GameStop has been spilling over into other areas of the market, with shares of companies like AMC Entertainment also surging in price on Wednesday, along with shares of Bed Bath &amp; Beyond and retailer Express Inc. whose shares were up 250%.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>As the big hedge funds began to short sell certain companies, the word on social media was to buy the stocks.\u00a0 This cost the short sellers millions as stocks like AMC Theaters, GameStop and Bed, Bath and Beyond went way up rather than further down.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>These are the big gains today as the overall markets
