Beleaguered retailer Bed Bath & Beyond (BBBY) was once a favorite among meme stock traders. But just last week, the company expressed doubt that it will be able to continue operating without filing bankruptcy. The stock price dropped 25% on the news, falling under $2 a share. Most options action on the day appeared to be profit taking, although someone placed a reasonably large opening short call trade.
