Keith Gill: The Man Behind the GameStop Stock Surge

Who is Keith Gill?

Keith Gill is a former financial analyst who is largely credited with spiking the GameStop stock (NYSE: GME) in early 2021. Gill, who posted his analyses of the stock on Reddit under the username DeepFuckingValue, gained a large following of retail investors who helped drive up the stock's price.

Gill's Investment Strategy

Gill's investment strategy was based on his belief that GameStop was undervalued. He argued that the company's strong fundamentals and loyal customer base made it a good long-term investment. Gill also believed that the stock was being shorted by hedge funds, which created an opportunity for a short squeeze.

The GameStop Short Squeeze

In January 2021, a group of retail investors on Reddit began to buy up GameStop stock in large numbers, driving up the stock's price. This led to a short squeeze, in which hedge funds that had been betting against the stock were forced to buy it back at a higher price. The short squeeze caused GameStop's stock price to surge to over $400 per share, up from a low of $4 per share in March 2020.

Gill's Impact

Gill's analyses and investment gains helped to inspire the GameStop short squeeze and brought attention to the power of retail investors. He has since become a popular figure on Reddit and social media, and his investment strategy has been widely debated.
