Keith Gill, known online as “Roaring Kitty,” the man who sparked the meme stock rally with his bullish comments supporting stocks like GameStop Corp (NYSE: GME), has returned to live streaming.
Over 450,000 people tuned in to Gill’s YouTube channel at 12 pm Eastern Time for his first livestream since 2021.
The live stream began with a montage of various cats and kittens playing, followed by a lengthy disclaimer emphasizing that Gill’s channel and live streams are for “educational and entertainment purposes only” and do not constitute investment advice.
Gill appeared before a screen showing GameStop’s share price, which was down almost 20% in the early afternoon on Friday. This decline followed the video game retailer’s disappointing quarterly earnings report and its announcement of plans to sell up to 75 million shares.
“I figured I’d pop in here and say what’s up, everybody! It’s been a few years, I hope y’all are doing good,” Gill greeted his audience.
He humorously noted that it was indeed him on the stream, not actor Paul Dano, who portrayed him in the film “Dumb Money,” which depicts the events of the meme stock craze.
Gill confirmed that screenshots shared on Reddit (NYSE: RDDT) showing an unrealized gain of $382 million from his GameStop investments are indeed his holdings.
Reaffirming his bullish stance on the stock, he said, “GameStop finds itself in a very unique situation just like it did last time. Not just in the gaming space, but we have a company that so many people are rooting for to succeed. How often does that happen?”
