The Good: Virgin Galactic Virgin Galactic shares launched off today as the company announced plans to redo its aborted spaceflight test on February 13th, sooner than many had anticipated. The previous spaceflight was meant to be one of the first of four flights preceding the launch of their commercial spaceflight program. Shares of the company moved up 21% to 53.79 a share. The rescheduled spaceflight seeks to accomplish all of the objectives of the originally planned flight, part of the essential safety pathway to getting citizens into orbit. The Bad: Gamestop Gamestop’s wild ride has been well documented over the last two weeks, with everyone turning their eyes to Wall Street Bets, a subreddit on the social media site Reddit. The forum figured out a potential short squeeze, which then went viral. With all the hoopla, the stock skyrocketed, swinging wildly and garnering more and more media attention. Today, however, saw a rocky day for the company’s stock, which opened above a whopping 320 and closed at 225. This loss, 30% in one day, and another 15% in the after-market, supports the bull case for the supposed short squeeze. Whether this is a classic pump or dump or a movement which is challenging Wall Street conventions and exposing the potential and pitfalls of retail trading all remains to be seen. But these kind of losses suggest a return to earth—at least for now. The Ugly: Ryanair Like many airlines, Ryanair is seeing a rough year amidst the pandemic. The European airline, which offers cheap air fare across the continent, from London to Sofia, has suffered under extensive travel restrictions. Today, the airline announced that it expects a $1 billion loss for its 2021 year, citing shutdowns and pre-arrival Covid tests as barriers to travel. Ryanair pointed to some hope in the future, including a promising vaccine rollout in the UK. Ryanair shares are down 12% since the beginning of the year.
