A chunk of President Joe Biden's coronavirus relief package is poised to end up in the stock market and could provide a boost for GameStop and other stocks embraced by individual investors active in online social media forums.

A Deutsche Bank survey of 430 retail investors last month found that on average they plan to put 37per cent of any stimulus checks directly into equities.
