- Keith Gill, trader on Reddit aka 'Roaring Kitty', delivers his opening statement. Gill joins Robinhood CEO Vlad Tenev, Melvin Capital CEO Gabriel Plotkin, Reddit co-founder and CEO Steve Huffman and Citadel CEO Ken Griffin in testifying before the House Committee on Financial Services about the GameStop trading activity in late January.

The Reddit and TH-cam trading star known as “Roaring Kitty” defended his social media posts that helped spark a mania in GameStop shares last month in testimony released Wednesday, saying he was an individual investor acting only on publicly available information.
The trader, whose real name is Keith Gill, is set to testify Thursday before the U.S. House of Representatives’ Committee on Financial Services. Other than defending his actions, Gill used his testimony to again make the case for why he is still bullish on GameStop.
“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,” Gill said in the comments. “I believed - and I continue to believe - that GameStop has the potential to reinvent itself as the ultimate destination for gamers within the thriving $200 billion gaming industry.”
Through TH-cam videos and Reddit posts, Gill - who goes by DeepF------Value on Reddit and Roaring Kitty on TH-cam - attracted an army of day traders who cheered each other on and piled into the brick-and-mortar video game stock and call options.
GameStop’s share price ballooned to $483 per share, before spiraling down more than 90% to around $46 per share currently.
“I believed the company was dramatically undervalued by the market. The prevailing analysis about GameStop’s impending doom was simply wrong,” he said in the testimony. “My investment skills had reached a level where I felt sharing them publicly could help others.”
In his testimony, Gil said he started buying shares of GameStop in 2019, when the stock price declined on disappointing earnings. Plus, Gill liked that famed investor Michael Burry was bullish on GameStop.
“Because I thought the stock was undervalued, I purchased call options on June 7, 2019. I increased my position throughout much of 2019 and 2020, because as I continued to analyze the company and its 3 prospects, I became increasingly confident that the share price was indeed dramatically undervalued,” the testimony said.
He said the market was underestimating GameStop’s growth prospects and overestimating the likelihood the video game company would go bankrupt. Gill believes GameStop can expand its digital capabilities and harness its 60 million loyal members, the testimony said.
The WallStreetBets star went on to say that social media platforms like TH-cam, Twitter, and WallStreetBets on Reddit are leveling the playing field for individual investors as they work together to build investment ideas.
“I was abundantly clear that my channel was for educational purposes only, and that my aggressive style of investing was unlikely to be suitable for most folks checking out the channel,” said Gill. “Whether other individual investors bought the stock was irrelevant to my thesis - my focus was on the fundamentals of the business.”
Gill’s latest post on Reddit said he made $7.8 million off of GameStop. A proposed class-action lawsuit was brought against Gill on Wednesday, filed in federal court in Massachusetts, alleging that he pretended to be a novice trader despite being a licensed professional.

@@dannacht6827 fact is, the organization that Joe taxpayer employs has turned for the most part , a blind eye to the way the market insiders operate. This is mostly because regulation in our free markets wasn't popular among the very powerful market insiders. Watch some of the archives of CNBCs Fast Money, or even the Kudlow Report. I'll bet you cant find one hedgfund trader in favor of up tick rules and government implementation during the financial/ Housing crisis that sent the world into the great recession.

Underrated comment right here
baaaaah
He also called it stonks. Lol
Actually he’s a bull
Why is he on a trial? All he did was invest in Gamestop? Can someone explain what is going on?
He has done nothing wrong. He analysed a company, found it was undervalued and made some money.... end of!
Precisely.
Agree. But he can’t make money off billionaires!!! That’s a no-no it seems.
That’s it m8 tell them the lies so we know the straight door
and he likes the stock!
@no one how is finding an undervalued stock illegal? That’s literally just buying low to sell high.
I shed a tear watching this. You stand for all of us little guys! Cheers brother
I love you guys!
Same here
ngl I got choked up when he started talking about his family and his sister dying.
Amen. This man represents America.
Cheers F*ckface!
He deserves every last cent he has, inspite of everyone that said different a year ago, he stood his word and stayed loyal to what he believed in, and earned every dollar there, if anything the most humble guy ever to have this happen too, I'm so beyond happy for him, really the true Robinhood and hero in all of this!
Yes! People were calling him an idiot for months prior this.
More than anything else, what he did is absolutely LEGAL and played the same as the very hedge funds that have been wiping out middle-class savings accounts/retirements for decades. I hope to see them panhandling
Well said
I have never invested in stock but this man is a goat
The fact that this man is having to testify should show just how broken the system is.
Underrated comment.
im just kinda going to throw this on a few of these comments i see, they weren't grilling him as any potentially guilty player in this. guam's representative explicity congratulated retail investors who succeeded in the squeeze. they brought DFV in for the retail investor's perspective on everything.
they did not grill him like robinhood, melvin, and citadel.
Congress isn’t accusing him of any wrongdoing. But his knowledge and perspective is probably necessary to get at the real problem, which is hedge funds aggressively shorting stocks.
It's not broken, just not built for people like you & me
@@stikkgreen5237 The sad truth.
"I'm not a cat" LMAO.
At this point, he is a freaking folk hero. I'll be telling my kids his story for decades.
He is more Robinhood then Robinhood actually is.
He's just a pump n dumper that saw a golden opportunity and figured out a clever way to skirt the law. He got rich at many other people's expense. That's immoral. I wouldn't mow his lawn for a million bucks because his money is ill-gotten.

Hearing his voice start wavering around the time he mentions his sister is pretty heartbreaking. This guy is a legend and anyone who targets him for what happened with the GameStop stock is simply evil.
😢
They are truly evil. This guy graduated college the same year as me. He represents so many people.
I noticed that too. What do you know, a regular human has...humanity in him. Not sure that applies to the hedge funds!
Look at this guy: he doesn't belong in front of Congress. He's not even a cat.
A tragedy, how our federal institutions are unwilling to track down the cats that were responsible for this economic... blip on the radar ?
🤣🤣🤣
He is overqualified for congress. He is neither paid to lie nor pushing for controlling other people, he shouldn't be there.
He's also not a lying two faced thief.
If they try to demonize Keith Gill we’ve got to stand up for him, he represents us common folk, we are Keith Gill, we are Roaring Kitty
but we are not a cat. :)

People that think this are ignorant to investing. This guy pumped the stock, and now the working man is left holding the bag.
If this guy needs a gofundme to fight this lawsuit I will 100% be donating to it.
Starts it with "I'm not a cat"
End it with "I like the stock"

And his speech was well delivered. Great stuff
We are going to get so many good memes out of this

Never have I seen a more honest-looking man. I guess he just likes the stock.
He could do the best Vlad from robinhood parody videos.
Dude, just take a look at his eyes and you'll see the truth
Dumb Money recreated this scene pretty well. I remember watching this at work. “As for me, I like the stock.” Will never forget when he said that as well as his final yolo where he exercised his options. I bought in 2020 and am still holding. Nothing has changed. There are many like me. It’s not over.

100% agree! Looks like he has held his composure well. That's becuase he did absolutely nothing wrong and has zero to hide. Unlike that 30 second clip of a Melvin employee, dude was a pri%k.

The cryptocurrency hit a fresh record high for the first time in three years this month as people increased their bids in hopes of making huge gain from the rise but as we can see now the market is very unstable , the truth is that you can always make more profit from tradn rather than just hodlin and waiting for the price of BTC to skyrocket . Indeed its a tough decision for both old and newbies whose intensions are just to hodl and sell but rather the potentials of tradn Btc would allow you grow your Btc not minding the present price chart and also saving your ass from any future deep that may occur . I started tradn with Daniel Wríght since late last year and till date have made over 14 Btc even with the ups and downs since the journey . With Daniel’s help I no longer have to worry about the rise and dip of Bitcoin , you can easily get to Daniel on : Teleg : ram : Danielwrightfx..
This dude is so innocent i bet he never killed a fly, dude ruined Melvin Capital and robinhood just with his 50k $ , living legend
50k shares, not $. And, more importantly, he did it with good research and sharing that openly, and with reasonable disclaimers. He told people where things stood, and they made their own decisions, and did what they felt was right in that moment, based on their own research on the topic. And... he didn't ruin Robinhood. Robinhood did that to themselves back when they took on a situation where a huge percentage of their income came from Citadel, which was presumably beholden to the well being of Melvin Capital (enough so that they dumped $2 Bn to keep MC solvent), before Melvin got caught with their proverbial pants down. I can't directly *blame* RH, they made a large part of the good half of this possible with their business model in general... but they bent the knee at a very inopportune moment (and in ways that raised even more questions, freezing purchase but allowing selling of shares, which favored price dumping and a reprieve for the companies shorting GME, both early on and in that immediate moment), and so, their neck's potentially on the block for it (on top of losing a fair amount of business from people that they'd genuinely brought into the markets up to the time that the bad side of this hit).

Who can’t stand it? The people who were heading up the hearing never even asked a hard question to Keith. But they sure interrupted the Robinhoods ceos opening statement and every other time he talked. Totally gaslighting everyone watching. Interrupting the opening statement, that is standard for these things, asking him about why Gme was restricted while he was giving a background of his life, totally out of line but also totally calculated.
And you idiots cheered it on. But guess what? You’re gonna get taxed. .1% of every trade, buy or sell, will be the move. It will reduce liquidity, volume and most of all, screw retail.

@Spencer Limming yeah, it was a pump dump, but it was supposed to lead to hedge funds losing their shorts. hedge funds forced robbinhood to force the short float stocks to go down. Only allowed for selling to be an option so people couldn't buy, but they can sell. People were forced to sell or hold. Stocks were only able to go in one direction, which is down. Volatility went far lower than previous day's because of this. That is on Robbinhood and the others that censored those stocks

My portfolio for the past 30 years has always been self managed and I own 3 shares of Berkshire Hathaway Class A stock (BRK:A) which I bought in at about $17,000 during the mid 90s, I'm currently liquidating some of these positions to incoporate new Gen. Stocks, but am I better off re-investing into Gold as it seems stocks are a little too unstable right now.
The market is not necessarily a rollercoaster if you know your way around the market, there are various opportunities in the present market to accrue good profit, If you are not too savvy with the market, just buy and hold on strong companies with good earnings, or consult with advisors on Etfs and actively managed funds. I am up by 418% in 1 year under guidance.

There are a handful of experts in the field. I've experimented with a few over the past years, but I've stuck with ‘’Sonya Lee Mitchell’’ for about five years now, and her performance has been consistently impressive. She’s quite known in her field, look-her up.
Thanks for sharing. I searched for her full name, found her website immediately, reviewed her credentials, and did my due diligence before reaching out to her.
It's funny how the honest ones are always the most straightforward with their responses.
it's amazing how the others twist their ass.
If Maxine waters had any answers it would be all lies. Lol.
this is honest? go read some r/wallstreetbets right now. please. you do no understand what actually happened.
@@kristajohnson9173 can you be more specific? I'm afraid there's a lot of content on wallstreetbets and I'm not sure what you're referring to.
How did he say "I'm not a cat" with a straight face lmfao
It comes from the deep conviction of knowing that you’re telling the truth.
@@fmccloud Thats what any cat-person would want you to belive.
What makes that line even more amusing is how topical it is. Not just the fact it's his name but the fact he only said that because of what happened with the lawyer and the cat filter a week or so ago.
M still laughing
Well... he isn't.

I've owned GameStop stock for a decade. Bought it on a whim, assumed it would lose, just held onto it.
Are you still holding on to it?
Pthe diamondest hands
Still holding?
@@playwithneax7178 No and yes. I sold, but bought back in April. My friends kinda guilted me back into it.
Sad to hear about his sister. He earned this money. Not only that, but unlike others in the market - he actually INVESTED in it.
He lured a large number of small investors in his scam and left with the money. While the hedge funds members recovered before their morning coffee. They simply lost theirs.
@@crhylis5833 If I was spreading lies Gamestop stocks would still be high.
He intentionally manipulated the market to his own benefit and the little investors ended loosing more than the hedge funds.
End of story.
@@Dr_Do-Little well then so did Michael Burry 🤷
@@Dr_Do-Little Gamestop stocks lowered because of the sudden buying halt of the stock caused by Robinhood to which over 100% of its users had/were trading when it was high (over 50% of its user had a GME share). The sudden drop in demand lowered the momentum and price of the stock; not to mention the short-selling that happened and is continuing to happen as well. Not a financial advisor, just an idiot passing by.
@@Dr_Do-Little wdym left with the money? He hasnt sold, he even bought more after the hearing
I fully believed he isn't a cat until he said "I'm not a cat". Trying way too hard to convince us, very suspicious...
Lmao. I have goosebumps that we're part of history. This will be talked about for decades
Such ballsy stetment to say on your wife b o y f r i e n d.
Methinks the kitty doth protest too much.
He's actually a roaring kitty.
Yeah, sounds like something a cat would say...
My heart broke when he talked about his sister man, RIP
You can hear it in his voice, heart breaking
who cares lol? he's rich!
I’m surprised he didn’t start sobbing.
@@claire6223 Wait until the day you lose someone very close to you and realize that no price can bring them back... When it happens, revisit this comment.
@@claire6223 thats the stupidest thing I’ve ever heard
Leading with “I am not a cat” while keeping a straight face was golden.
Anyone in congress that questions his actions needs to be investigated.
I mean they all need to be anyway....
I listened to the first few hours and no one questioned him. He's done nothing wrong and is the real Robinhood of this story. It would take a very dump politician to go after him.
Can we just investigate them all to cover our bases?
@@jvm-tv yep, he is there to provide his side and support the investigation. it was really clear they are focusing on robinhood and melvin and citadel as faulty parties, and it was REALLY clear they are not happy with robinhood. they had nothing for DFV other than things like "have you ever seen this kind of behavior before" and he'd be like "no, i sure haven't!" and they'd go back to grilling the others.
they didn't bring him in as a potentially guilty party, i think it was obvious from everything i saw.
@@cellamuert exactly! Happy to see that. He's a great guy.
This man is a hero. Individual investors deserve a level play field.
Well we clearly don’t so what are we gonna do about it?
RIP to his sister. His voice almost broke there :(
Yeah that's very sad to hear :( I'm glad he has some good news for his family.
0:30 "I am not a cat" 5:00 "I like the stock"
"As for me, I like this stock."
Legend.
the written text is even better: "in short, I like the stock."
Its one man vs the entire wall st.
DFV represent us all. He is us.
What does dfv mean?
@@tommyhawkins5338 deep f**king value
“I like the stock”. Brilliant
I don't get it... is this some reference I'm not aware of?
@@darkideon Yes. WSB has been saying that for the past 6 weeks. It's a meme.
@@darkideon Also, Jim Cramer defended WSB on his show. Watch the whole thing here..
th-cam.com/video/aZHTm0N59Rc/w-d-xo.html
@@darkideon the Suits want us to believe that Deep FV (Gill) didn't actually like the stock and only bought it to destroy Melvin. Gill has maintained from the beginning that he's a gamer, believes in GameStop, and likes the stock. His only "crime" was that he bought GameStop stocks. It's not illegal to buy any stock on the market. Anyone can. The Suits in DC and on Wall Street want us to believe Gill is some undercover shadow hedge fund manager with a rotten brain. LOL It's so hilarious that Gill is sitting in a chair that has "Secret Lab" on it. LOL He's such a troll! LOL
WE LIKE THE STOCK
It’s criminal for him to be persecuted for this
Well what do you expect? He's being persecuted by the most prominent criminals in the nation.
Him: “I am not a cat.”
Cat thinking it’s a lawyer: “I am also not a cat.”
I am a cat. Meow.
Imagine being a hedge fund manager and being brought to your knees by roaring kitty....i wouldn't even ask for a hearing I'd be so humiliated....
Now imagine that’s not his name, he’s deepfuckingvalue!
That hurts em way more!
It be nice if maybe these people learn that the souless idea of a corporation and having a heartless way of speaking doesn't work in our society anymore. We are growing in a generation where a single entity is able to hold a platform and share their opinion without a room of dudes telling them the statistics of what will work or what won't work, TH-cam/Twitch etc. We are entering an interesting time in society because we're slowly seeing this shift of people being able to stand on their own without a group needed to succeed, it wouldn't surprise me if at the end of it, the hedgefunds realize they have a lot of fat they can just cut out of their finances and work with a smaller/more passionate group and not one that is just glued to souless way of thinking.
@@airget one of the few things that give me hope nowadays is seeing how people are fed up and are starting to understand normal people can actually make a difference...it breaks my heart what is going on in this country right now its all just a circus but people are starting to open their eyes thank god
@@airget amen man....you said it....couldn't agree more
@@swayback7375 a straight legend...
This man spoke in front of the committee with no pants on and a picture of a hanging kitten hanging in the background with his legendary headband still in view 👏👏👏
DFV also gave a tip of his hat to Redditors who said they would take a drink/shot every time DFV said "I like the stock". When he said it in his opening statement, he said right afterwards, "Cheers, everyone". LOL!!!!! I love him! I am so happy for him and his young family (wife and baby)!!!! Financially they are all set! He came from scraps and bought some stock he loves, and now look at him: trolling the DC suits. LOL
Wow I did not catch the cat picture with the head band.
how do you know he wasn't wearing pants?
More class than we’ve seen from our so called elected officials in my 35 years on this rock.
This was genuinely moving. Towards the end I was tearing up, I hadnt realised DFV had such a difficult time. I also love how he added in ‘I like the stock’ and that he’s ‘bullish’ at the end. Hero
Funny how this guy is the "least educated" and worst paid of all the people interviewed. And he's the only one of them saying things I understand easily 100%.
well said
People in the investment business love to use complicated language because they want everyone to think only they can do what they do.
it's a method of class separation by making the lower class literarically unable to understand by using english vocabulary that would make an SAT cry.
Yh the name for that is equivocating or equivocation. Its when they use big words in order to fool you or get around the question. *All* politicians and alot of lawyers are guilty of this
@@seafoam6119 ur 100% right. I cant believe i never figured that out.
He never shows his diamond hands. Smart man
I like to come back to this video once in a while to remind myself of how well Keith did here. Inspirational
This guy, who is not a cat, delivered an amazing speech. What a legend! His family must be so proud of him like most of the reddit community.
I LIKE THE STOCK! This man will forever be remembered. Long live DFV
Keith Gill, aka "Roaring GOAT"
what does goat mean?
@@alexm566 greatest of all time
@@bobbert24 thanks
" I am not a cat .I do not have clients. My family was not wealthy. My father was a truck driver"- roaring kitty 😺
An iconic figure
GOAT
The only human being in that meeting. Everyone else was just a sock-puppet for an arm of lawyers.
Or a money bag using an army of lawyers as their sock puppet.
I love How GameStop Stock soared during his testimony.
literally grew 7% in the next 5 seconds after he started talking
@@sniffersmc2827 he likes the stock because he is the stock
Just saw a store with going out of business sighns on windows. Lol
@Enter Name to the bitter end
@Enter Name yes, pump and dump where the guy starting the movement didn't dump, amazing
This man is the 🐐
He is not a cat
This guy was and is an absolute legend. I wish I could turn back time and join that crew.
He literally made an analysis and bought his options 1 year ago on TH-cam and reddit, explaining why he believes gamestop will go up. It makes no sense to me why the SEC is going after him when they should be going after hedges and billionaires that shorted/manipulated this stock by prohibiting people to buy it on RH and spreading false rumors.
They aren't going after him. He was simply present at their meeting... he wasn't even asked many questions.
The committee spent most of the time roasting RH CEO tho
A few of the rep's even pointed out it made no sense him being there.
When he said "it was not a good time to be looking for a job".. really got me emotional. These are the type of people we need to praise the most. Let's make the world a better place together!
My heart goes out to him too 😭
It is now etched in congressional history that a character named Roaring Kitty said “I’m not a cat” as well as “I like the stock”. Very proud to be a part of history
This lore just gets wilder and wilder
For those who hadn't noticed... the guy is brilliant. He would have to be. Its that brilliance that allowed him to crack the code of corruption. Problem is... corruption doesn't want its code cracked or revealed. That said, his appearance before Congress was designed to scare and intimidate him, but he made a memorable presentation instead, and handled it all with such grace.
