Challenging Wall Street, how retail investors beat the airdrop and made 40 million dollars
Roaring Kitty, one of the most powerful retail traders in history, turned $53,000 into more than $46 million on $GME.
After three years of seclusion, he is back and has led a new round of MEME craze. Whether it is US stocks or cryptocurrencies, $GME has re-started the moon landing mode. This is his complete story and the revelation to the currency circle.
Roaring Kitty, whose real name is Keith Gill, was born in 1986. His family is not rich, nor did he graduate from a prestigious school.
In college, he was a track and field star.
After graduating in 2009, he first worked in a startup company that made stock analysis software for his relatives. Later, he changed jobs several times and started working for Massachusetts Mutual Life Insurance Company in 2019.
In 2014, he created his own Twitter with the goal of "finding stocks and seizing investment opportunities."
In 2015, he also joined YouTube and regularly broadcast live to show his transactions and market research. He also joined Reddit in 2019 with the username DFV (DeepFuckingValue). In today's popular words, Keith Gill is a US stock KOL.
The turning point of the legendary story occurred in 2019, when Gill began to buy GME shares, allegedly because he felt that GME's stock was seriously undervalued.
At that time, Wall Street tycoon Michael Burry was also optimistic about GME. This person was the prototype of the protagonist of "The Big Short". He single-handedly fought against Wall Street, shorted US real estate subprime bonds, and finally made a fortune.
But later everyone learned that Burry cleared his position before GME stock went crazy (in the fourth quarter of 20).
