Kitty Sparked GameStop stock price
In mid-2019, a Reddit user known as Roaring Kitty posted a picture on an online forum depicting a single $53,000 investment in the video-game retailer GameStop (GME).
Over the next year, he began tweeting frequently about GameStop and making YouTube and TikTok videos about his investment.
Even five months ago, he wrote, “In this video I share a new style of my analysis on GameStop (GME, $4.61, $299M market cap). As of August 2020 I’m bullish on the stock. What are your thoughts on GME?”
According to Reuters, the Reddit user DeepF***ingValue, “helped attract a flood of retail cash” into GameStop, sending hedge funds that didn’t appreciate the company into a tailspin and the stock market into tumult. Daily Mail and the Wall Street Journal say Gill is also the Reddit user DeepF***ingValue who posts on Reddit’s WallStreetBets forum.
That’s when he began live-streaming his financial ideas. Other Reddit users began following his every move and piling into GameStop.
He helped attract a flood of retail cash into GME by burning hedge funds that had bet against the company and roiling the broader market.
He has now become a central figure in the January 2021 stock market frenzy. He told the Wall Street Journal that he started investing in GameStop in 2019, when it went for $5 a share.
A Reddit user known as “Roaring Kitty” has helped fuel the GameStop frenzy. At one point, his $53,000 investment in the company was worth $48 million.
