Shares of GameStop jumped for the fifth day running on Tuesday, as news on the video retailer's e-commerce strategy and speculation that small investors will pour stimulus checks into markets showed signs of reheating January's 'meme' stocks boom.

GameStop shares were up 15.1% to $223.70 premarket, a day after the company tasked Chewy co-founder Ryan Cohen -- a major GameStop shareholder and board member -- with spearheading the company’s online sales efforts. Shares in the company are still far below January peaks of more than $480 a share but the recovery may reduce losses for more of the investors who lost money on the stock’s subsequent collapse.
