Roaring Kitty ignites the market again, a look at the top ten related memes
Author: Nan Zhi, Odaily Planet Daily
Three weeks ago, Roaring Kitty, who once led retail investors to beat Wall Street shorts, reappeared in the public eye after three years, triggering a new round of surges in GME. However, aside from the first tweet upon his return, which featured a suggestive image, the content posted by Roaring Kitty consisted of movie clips, and updates ceased a few days later, causing the related market interest to cool down again.
However, just yesterday, Roaring Kitty posted a position screenshot on Reddit after three years. The screenshot showed that Roaring Kitty held GME stock and GME call options, with the call options set to expire on June 21, 2024, showing a floating loss of $2.46 million at the time of posting.
Additionally, Roaring Kitty also posted a similarly suggestive image on the X platform, featuring a function card from the UNO game, symbolizing "reverse." The Meme token related to the Roaring Kitty concept was also launched, with the eponymous Meme coin GME rising 268% in a single day, and its market cap once again surpassing $100 million. GME stock also surged over 100% in pre-market trading.
Early this morning, Roaring Kitty updated the position screenshot again, revealing that his position had gained $78.6 million overnight. The GME call options turned profitable, yielding $51.83 million, compared to a loss of $2.46 million yesterday. The profit from GME stock holdings rose from $9.23 million yesterday to $33.62 million.
According to the Wall Street Journal, Roaring Kitty may be delisted from the retail stock trading platform ETrade. Insiders indicated that investment giant Morgan Stanley's ETrade is "increasingly concerned that his recent purchases of GameStop (GME) stock may involve stock manipulation." Additionally, the U.S. SEC will review some trades of GameStop call options.

Roaring Kitty has posted position screenshots for two consecutive days, which may indicate that he will continue to release related content before the expiration of the call options on June 21.
