Today is Roaring Kitty's 40th birthday

In 2019, he put $53,000 into GameStop from his basement in Wilmington, MA

Every hedge fund on Wall Street told him he was wrong

Then January 2021 happened:

• Melvin Capital, Citadel, and Point72 were all short GME with billions

• GME goes from $5 → $483

• Keith Gill's $53,000 becomes $48,000,000

• Melvin Capital loses $6.8 billion. Gone within a year

Then Congress called him to testify. He told them "I did not solicit anyone to buy or sell the stock for my own profit" and walked out a free man

He disappeared from the internet in 2021. Came back in May 2024, posted one photo, and GME opened +50% the next morning

He showed every retail investor that the big guys aren't untouchable

Happy birthday @TheRoaringKitty
