On the 4th local time on the New York Stock Market, GameStop closed at $53.5 per week, down 42% from the previous day.

Gamestop shares have fallen more than 80% this week alone.

Shares, which surged more than 400% last week and soared to $483 during the day, are falling more than 30% almost every day this week.

It has only rebounded 2% on the last 3 days.

Robin Hood, a free stock app that put a brake on the purchase of GameStop, increased the limit for individual investors’ stock purchases to 500 shares from the 4th, but the stock price plunged again.

The news also affected the news that Finance Minister Janet Yellen will soon meet with heads of the Securities and Exchange Commission, the Commodity and Futures Trading Commission and the Federal Reserve to discuss the situation.

American individual investors, united in opposition to the hedge fund’s short selling, hit the short selling forces by raising the gamestop stock price to the full by collective buying.

U.S. financiers are watching the reactions and outcomes of financial authorities.

Meanwhile, an investigation by the authorities about YouTubers who carried out a game stop purchase campaign has also begun.

The Massachusetts government sent an official letter to Keith Jill, 34, an ex-worker, Massachusetts Mutual, who has rallyed individual investors through Internet sites and YouTube channels to request information.

Experts say Jill left the company last month, but at the time of her tenure, it is possible that she violated financial industry regulations.
