Investor of global repute manipulates Gamestop stock through a shared image.
Roaring Kitty's Powerful Clout on Gamestop and AMC Stocks
The infamous investor, Keith Gill, also known as Roaring Kitty, left investors buzzing once again. With a single image post on "X" platform, Gill set Gamestop's stock soaring. This ain't the first rodeo for Roaring Kitty, who became a household name during the COVID-19 pandemic, and let me tell ya, he's still up to his old tricks.
Remember the meme stock frenzy of 2021, where Gamestop and AMC were driving the market crazy despite lackluster forecasts? This nuclear winter for short sellers was all thanks to an engaged online community and our mysterious figure, Roaring Kitty. The Roaring Kitty legend is far from over, as his every move sets financial waves across the meme stock universe.
A Simple Image, Millions of Impressions
This time on the block, Roaring Kitty shared an image of a Time magazine cover featuring a computer screen. The post created a buzz among the "X" platform users, with over 10 million impressions. The guessing games about that post's secret meaning are running hot.
The Gamestop stock price also followed suit, surging 13% after the release. The AMC stock, too, saw another spike thanks to Tuesday's evening quarterly results. Though the company fell short of analysts' expected revenue of 887.7 million USD, coming up with 860 million USD instead, a net profit of 17.4 million USD caught everyone's attention. That's a significant improvement from the prior year's loss of 3.1 million USD. The stock then soared an additional 3% after hours.
Gamestop (WKN: A0HGDX) ## Old Investors VS Social Media Memes
Seasoned investors know how to play this game. They ain't guided by internet hypes or meme culture, good or bad. Social media and memes are pretty iffy advisors for long-term investment decisions, with the Gamestop stock price likely to drop despite occasional boosts. Although the business model of selling video games ain't exactly taking off, the retail merchandise segment was reported to expand in the last quarter.
