The Securities and Exchange Commission is investigating billionaire and activist investor Ryan Cohen's purchase and abrupt sale last year of shares of onetime home-goods retail chain and meme stock Bed Bath & Beyond, the Wall Street Journal reported on Thursday. The report comes after Cohen took a $120 million stake in the company last year, with hopes of shaking up business, tweeted "positively" about the retailer and days later offloaded the stake that August, the Journal said.
