One day after shares of AMC Entertainment closed up a whopping 95-percent, Carl Quintanilla, David Faber and Morgan Brennan led off with the big story of the morning: AMC’s stock tumbling after the theater chain filed to sell more than 11.5 million common shares "from time to time". But in its regulatory filing, AMC also warned investors about the stock's recent volatility: "Under the circumstances, we caution you against investing in our Class A common stock, unless you are prepared to incur the risk of losing all or a substantial portion of your investment." IMAX CEO Richard Gelfond joined the program and offered his take on the AMC frenzy, theater re-openings and what they all mean for his business. The anchors also discussed the regulatory picture for some of the so-called "meme stocks" with a former SEC official. General Motors and Ford among the S&P 500's best performers on a rough day for stocks: GM announcing it expects first half results to be "significantly better" than prior guidance, while Ford reports U.S. auto sales up 4.1-percent in May. Also in focus: Blackberry riding the Reddit-fueled rally – the stock up 75-percent over five days, and the picture for crypto one day after Dogecoin's 30-percent surge.
