Blackrock and Vanguard own GME because they operate the biggest S&P ETFs and mutual funds.

GME has increased its percentage of the S&P because retail investors have bought the position. Blackrock is not taking a position that a short squeeze is possible they are just reacting to the index.




GME isn't in the SPX


They are in sp400 which also makes them a constituent of sp1000.

Further they are in sptmi which massive etfs like vanguards vti & blackrocks itot are benchmarked against st.


Ah sorry - for some reason I thought you said SP500. Should not comment before coffee :(
