Robinhood Markets. Following the footsteps of Roaring Kitty
Keith Gill, the YouTube streamer known as Roaring Kitty, made tens of millions of dollars in a day from the GameStop meme stock.
YouTube blogger Keith Gill, known as Roaring Kitty, earned a paper profit of $79 million in one trading day from the growth of shares of the GameStop video game store chain, recently wrote CNBC. During trading on Monday, June 3, GameStop shares rose by 21% and closed at $28 per share.
On Monday, June 3, Keith Gill took to Reddit to share what appears to be a screenshot of his investment portfolio. The blogger revealed that he still holds 5 million shares of the video game store chain GameStop and 120 thousand call options on the stock with a strike price of $20 and an expiration date of June 21. Gill's bet on GameStop netted him an intraday profit of $33.6 million from stock gains and $54.3 million from options. As a result, these positions increased in value by $79 million.
A day earlier, Keith Gill posted on the social network Reddit a screenshot of the portfolio, which shows 5 million shares purchased at $21.27 per share and 120 thousand call options purchased at approximately $5.68.
A call option gives the buyer the right to purchase an asset at a fixed price on or before a predetermined date, and creates an obligation for the seller to sell it when requested. By purchasing such an option, a trader or investor takes a long position - long. It is opened in the hope of making money on the rise in the price of an asset, such as a stock.
If GameStop's stock price rises above $20 on June 21, Gill will be able to exercise the options at $20 per share. As a result, he will receive another 12 million shares of GameStop. In total, he will own 17 million shares, making him GameStop's fourth-largest shareholder behind Vanguard, BlackRock and RC Ventures, according to FactSet. At Monday's closing price of $28 per share, his stake is valued at $476 million.
Keith Gill rose to prominence in 2021 after posting a series of videos that investors took as a signal to buy GameStop stock. As a result, in January 2021, the price of securities of the GameStop video game store chain soared from $20 to $483 in two weeks, and the shares themselves began to be called meme.

Roaring20s
¿Are the Roaring 20's Repeting?I am a 12 year old kid with a dream to suceed in the Stock Market please give me some advice or inspiring quotes in the comments
Between 1918 and 1919 there was the "forgotten market crash" in which the stock market declined by over -50% and corporate earnings declined by OVER -90%. This year can be compared to 2020 since there was a pandemic in those years.
In the years between half of 1918 to 1919, there was a bull market in which the bull market returned more than 100%, and the ($SPY) passed from $60 to $120 in over a year, but just at that moment, a "mini-depression" came.
The depression of the 21 was a brief period of 1 and a half years where the stock market lost 1/3 of its value and almost all the gains made from the bull market. The cause for this "mini depression" is similar to today's 2022 Market Crash because the FED raised interest from 4.75 to 7% (the highest level in U.S. history except in the 1980s, let's remember that this was the highest level at that time). People that invested in technology stocks, sold their pieces in that companies meanwhile intelligent investors bought them at a discount. I also meant to say to buy stocks at the bottom because asset prices at that time were at a 6-year low, as well as the lowest price in the entire decade, the Moving Average also presented a buying opportunity. This is happening right now as we are seeing a lot of growth stocks losing value as well as some technological stocks, even the S&P lost -20%, but there are gonna be periods in which 1 week of the stock market produces +5% returns, but the next week it declines by (-7.5%)
From then on, many assets like real estate and stocks have rapidly increased their value, but as the ($SPY) almost achieved prices of 1921 levels, a not-so-important stock market crash occurred in 1923 in which the stock market tanked by -18%, and it when into effect for 1 year. This is again a buying opportunity, and you don't have to sell your stocks.
Between the period of 1924 to 1929, there is a period of prosperity where hundreds of movies are created, and other music styles take over like Jazz, and this trend is also happening right now so be careful with what you hear because it can be the music you will like for the rest of your life. Also, many technological inventions are going to get invented, and the best thing is that the creators of these inventions are gonna sell the stock of the company. Instead of the United States being the king of the stock market, China is going to be the king since most of these inventions are going to be created by Chinese inventors, and instead of black jazz musicians, we are going to have Latino musicians singing and bringing new dancing moves.
The stock market had a -10% loss in 1926, but it doesn't matter since the world economy is strong, and many people invest their savings into stocks. Back to reality, this decade is so SIMILAR to ours, but since the Great Depression also helped the rise of Nazi Germany we also have to see the consequences.
On October 24, 1929, the stock market crashed, leaving hundreds of millions of persons unemployed worldwide, ending the Roaring 20's, and 15 terrible years ahead made up of war, hunger and death. The stock market crashed by -89%, the biggest crash in history closing thousands of banks, and many suicides. Unfortunately, this could happen in the "Everything Crash of 2031", because of this decade of prosperity right now let's enjoy it because we will never have something like that.

DJI - Preparing For The Last Blow Of Top Before Big DepressionDJI is continuing to follow fractal from the "roaring twenties". While it clearly shows that we are about to experience one of the biggest financial reset, we should first get the last euphoric blow of top, sending DJI into 38-40k area. I highly doubt we will go much higher than 40k.
Be careful, don't laverage the euphoria, instead think of exiting the market as DJI starts to break into new ATH.
I am not a financial advisor so non of this should be taken as a financial advice.

NASDAQ The Golden Age Cycles can be identified by a curved rise, then a large pullback back to the average, dipping below the average, reclaiming the average, then dipping below again, and then reclaiming, then the next cycle begins
Cycle 3 in progress
Jump on the train while its hot "roaring 20s"
Looking for the 11000% increase before the fall occurs
Purgatory possibility is there due to the presence of large Fib circles (price loves to crash vertically along these lines)
Regardless, Cycle 3 has begun! (price lifted off the mean)
The roaring 20's has been done before...
Are You Positioned for Quad 2? I hope you're readyWe're already in the midst of record runs in the equity and commodity markets but as bubbly as it seems, its not over.
We are in an environment that not many people are familiar with. The last time Growth and Inflation on a global scale were accelerating as fast as they are now was immediately after World War 2. Previous commodity cycles were sparked by 1 or 2 catalysts. The current macro setup has nearly the most accommodative and bullish catalysts for global growth and inflation that we could imagine. Fed on autopilot, Fiscal out the wazoo, supply chain disruptions and shortages everywhere, all major political interests want a weaker dollar.
Given that is the case and YoY GDP will probably show about +10% and CPI +3% in the 2nd Quarter, there's a good chance this current run, especially for commodities, could continue for a couple more months before a major correction.
Things I have been and remain bullish on: Potash, Sugar, Wheat, Soybeans, Corn, Cocoa, Coffee, Orange Juice, Copper, Uranium, Crude Oil, Natural Gas.
I've added to my exposure recently Aluminum, Nickel, and Coal.
