Robinhood stocks surge by 82% raising nearly $20billion in incredible rally just six days after it held the worst ever IPO for a company of its size

Robinhood's stock flew on Wednesday, soaring by as much as 82%, nearly a week after its rocky initial public offering that saw its shares plunge 8.4% in the worst-ever debut for a company of its size.  The company that helped fuel the GameStop stock phenomenon, with its easy-to-use app, finished trading on Wednesday at $71.17 per share. That means it has more than doubled in value in four days, generating a total of $20billion in market value. Robinhood ended trading Wednesday 50.4% above the previous day in a rally that was so feverish that trading was temporarily halted three times in the first half hour after the market opened.  It's a sharp turnaround from last week's lackluster debut for the stock, when it sank 8.4% from its initial price of $38 on Thursday. Vladimir Tenev, CEO and co-founder of Robinhood, is shown on an electronic screen at Nasdaq in New York's Times Square following his company's rocky IPO, Thursday in which it saw its shares drop 8.4% from i

Prosecutors in NYC, Albany and Westchester launch sexual harassment criminal probes into Governor Cuomo - while he sticks his head in the sand and tweets about COVID from Albany mansion
