Meme stock guru Keith Gill, the architect of GameStop’s recent rollercoaster surge in stock, appears to be holding on to his large position in the video game retailer even after Monday’s big gains.
Gill, who goes by the Reddit handle “DeepF—–Value” and YouTube and X-T handle “Roaring Kitty,” posted screenshots of his portfolio after the stock market closed on Monday, showing the same common stock and call option holdings he disclosed Sunday night. The screenshots show that he still holds 5 million GameStop shares, as well as 120,000 call options with a strike price of $20 expiring on June 21.
The post on Reddit’s r/SuperStonk forum could not be independently verified by CNBC.
Following his latest Reddit post, GameStop’s shares rose about 4% in after-hours trading.
GameStop ended volatile trading on Monday up 21% after soaring as much as 70% during the day. The company’s shares were hit in afternoon trading by a Wall Street Journal report that E-Trade, the Morgan Stanley-owned brokerage firm used by Gill, was holding internal discussions about whether to ban him from its platform over concerns about possible market manipulation.
Gill’s latest post came shortly after the WSJ report, and appears to indicate that he didn’t sell his common stock, even though the value of his holding jumped from $115.7 million to $140 million in a single day.
