The Bed bath & beyond stock has been trending over the past week after a 20-year-old US university student made a $110 million (£91 million) profit after a one-month bet on the stock. The student named Jake Freeman together with friends and family members bought 5 million bed bath & beyond shares as the US homeware retailer was retailing.
