Keith Gill, known as ‘Roaring Kitty’ or ‘DeepF------Value’, revealed his GameStop portfolio worth nearly $300 million, consisting of 5 million shares and 120,000 call options expiring in June 2024.[1] If GameStop’s stock closes above $20 on the expiration date, Gill could acquire an additional 12 million shares, making him the fourth-largest shareholder with a total of 17 million shares worth around $476 million.[1]

Gill’s wealth skyrocketed from an initial $53,000 investment in 2019, inspiring a horde of retail traders to target short sellers.[1] By April 2021, he had exercised options to amass 200,000 shares.[1] While some experts caution about the risks of such a large options position, Gill’s paper gains reached $79 million in a single day this week.[1]

Personal disclosure: I am a Juul customer. Juul helped me quit cigarettes :smoking:. 3.5 years tobacco free. No judgement against current smokers as I used to be one. Plus I love those commercials before 1971

If he lives that long. Government jails are dangerous places.
Remember Mr. Epstein – multiple guards on “Suicide Watch” could not stop Mr. Epstein from “killing himself” while the 24/7 cameras were all strangely malfunctioning.

Paris is using a different system, more comparable to a classic air-conditioning system, involving vented air, through about one-third of the Olympic Village - areas that are designated as office spaces.

But of course: No air conditioning for you, but air conditioning for me. Athletic events cannot compare to paper pushing.
