Summary

Keith Gill, also known online as DeepFuckingValue (DFV) and Roaring Kitty, is an American financial marketer, educator, and individual investor who gained prominence for his analysis of GameStop stock on Reddit and YouTube. His posts, characterized by detailed spreadsheet analyses, were a significant factor in the GameStop short squeeze of January 2021, which saw his initial $53,000 investment grow to $50 million by January 2021. Gill maintained a low profile between 2021 and 2024, continuing to increase his GameStop holdings, and by June 2024, he also held 9 million shares of Chewy, Inc. His identity was revealed by Reuters in January 2021. Gill testified before the U.S. House Financial Services Committee in February 2021 regarding the intersection of short sellers, social media, and retail investors, asserting that he did not encourage anyone to buy or sell stock for his own profit. His return to social media in 2024, coinciding with a resurgence in meme stocks like GameStop, has sparked discussions about market manipulation, though some view it as a new form of social media-driven hype.

Keith Gill

Keith Patrick Gill (born June 8, 1986) is an American financial marketer and educator and individual investor known for his posts on the subreddits r/wallstreetbets and r/SuperStonk. His analyses of GameStop stock (NYSE: GME) and details of his resulting investment gains—posted on Reddit under the username DeepFuckingValue (DFV) and on YouTube and Twitter as Roaring Kitty, were cited as a driving factor in the GameStop short squeeze of January 2021, and as a spark for the subsequent trading frenzy in retail stocks. The rising stock value allowed Gill to turn an initial US$53,000 investment into $50 million by January 2021. Between 2021–2024, Gill kept a low profile but continued to increase his GameStop ownership. As of June 2024, Gill also owned 9 million Class A shares of Chewy, Inc. Gill's posts were described as "forthright, spreadsheet-laden content". His Reddit username derives from the investing term deep value, as Gill claims to be a proponent of value investing. Reuters revealed his identity to the public on January 28, 2021, after an investigation of public records and social-media posts. Gill gave testimony as part of a virtual hearing held by the US House Financial Services Committee on February 18, 2021, as part of a discussion about when "short sellers, social media, and retail investors collide". Gill testified he "did not solicit anyone to buy or sell the stock for [his] own profit."
