\"GameStop side effect,\" namely, that  skyrocketing stock prices can trigger a company to issue shares and use that money to strengthen a balance sheet, boost its liquidity position or to pay down existing debt.</p><p>\"If the equity of GameStop goes parabolic,\" McClain said, it can significantly boost the company's market capitalization, and \"in theory, the debt is somewhat better protected.\"</p><p>The problem, McClain argued, is that the co-mingling of pandemic stimulus from policy makers and the rise of commission-free stock apps that allow anybody to trade equities with a swipe can lead to real risks for individual investors, while creating headaches for debt-market participants.</p><p>\"The casino is open and everybody is invited in,\" McClain said. \"It's free booze and basically free chips.\"</p><p>This chart shows AMC's bonds not only rallied in January, but were the most actively traded debt from a list of Russell 3000 Index  stocks included in MarketWatch's
