Keith “Roaring Kitty” Gill’s Testimony before the U.S. House Committee on Financial Services is out. In the statement, Gill touches on his initial investment thesis and how it has adapted to the developments over the years.
The investment I made was risky, but I was confident in my analysis, and I was willing to accept the loss if I was proven wrong. My timing was far from perfect, and many of the options contracts I purchased expired worthless because GameStop’s stock price remained depressed longer than I expected.
Gill also uses the testimony to touch on more personal matters, stating that after the unexpected loss of his sister Sara, it brought tremendous joy to share good news with his family for a change.
Ultimately my GameStop investment was a success. But the thing is, I felt that way in December far before the peak, when the stock was at $20 a share. I was so happy to visit my family in Brockton for the holidays and give them the great news – we were millionaires. That money will go such a long way for my family. We had an incredibly difficult 2020. In addition to dealing with COVID, we lost my sister Sara unexpectedly in June. It brought me tremendous joy to share good news with my family for a change. I am grateful to be able to give back to my community and to support my family, most of all my wife Caroline who has stuck with me through very tough times.
Gill concludes his statement with his thoughts on GameStop’s unique opportunity within the gaming industry moving forward.
As for what I expect moving forward: GameStop’s stock price may have gotten a bit ahead of itself last month, but I’m as bullish as I’ve ever been on a potential turnaround. In short, I like the stock. And what’s stunning is that, as far as I can tell, the market remains oblivious to GameStop’s unique opportunity within the gaming industry
