Yellow's Share Price Surges 387.5% Despite Ceasing Operations — Yellow's shares opened at 80 cents on Monday morning and by Tuesday's close, they had soared to $3.90. This represents a staggering 387.5% increase in stock value within just a day.

Yellow, the US's fifth-largest trucking company, ceased operations on Sunday. Surprisingly, its share price skyrocketed, with an 80 cent value on Monday morning, soaring to $3.90 by Tuesday's close. This represents a 387.5% increase in just one day. Therefore, if you had invested $10,000 in Yellow's shares on Monday morning, it would have ballooned to $48,750 by Tuesday's close. It's a shocking development for a company that has stopped operations. Timothy Dooner gave some insight into this, saying, “A bankruptcy loan is in the works, and I've just learned that a 'whale' made a significant purchase, which explains some of the activity." It will be fascinating to watch how this situation unfolds.

There’s a bankruptcy loan in the works and a whale picked up a big sum I just learned about, which explains some of the activity.
