Summary
Keith Patrick Gill, also known online as Roaring Kitty and DeepFuckingValue (DFV), is an American financial marketer, educator, and individual investor who gained prominence for his analyses of GameStop stock on Reddit and YouTube. His posts, characterized by detailed, spreadsheet-driven content, were a significant factor in the January 2021 GameStop short squeeze and the subsequent surge in retail stock trading. Gill's initial investment of $53,000 reportedly grew to $50 million by January 2021. Despite maintaining a low profile between 2021 and 2024, he continued to increase his GameStop holdings and, as of June 2024, also possessed 9 million shares of Chewy, Inc. His identity was revealed by Reuters on January 28, 2021, following an investigation into public records and social media activity. Gill testified before the US 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 personal gain. His influence is also noted in the context of emerging "Internet Capital Markets," where finance is becoming embedded in software, potentially revolutionizing how companies are financed, traded, and owned.

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."
