Investing.com — Shares of Clover Health (NASDAQ:CLOV), the latest addition to the meme-stock craze surged more than 11% in premarket trade on Wednesday, a day after retail traders in online discussion forums sent its stock zooming 86% to a record high.

Medicare-backed insurance seller Clover Health has emerged as the new favorite of retail traders, who realized it is one of the shorted stocks across U.S. exchanges.

Bearish bets in Clover have been steadily climbing since March and now stand at over $580 million or 44% of the public float, according to data from S3 Partners, Bloomberg said.
