When retail investors-those impish rebels-conjured a rally that rivaled the spectral GameStop episode, one could almost hear the faint sound of angels crying over the chaos they wrought.

At noon ET, shares were up 7.2%, which is basically the stock market’s version of a standing ovation… if ovations had ticker symbols.
