As for me, I like the stock. I’m as bullish as I’ve ever been on a potential turnaround for GameStop, and I remain invested in the company.

Does Keith Gill Have a Continued Interest in GME?

In 2021, Keith Gill was well known and celebrated among retail GME shareholders. Eventually, Keith Gill disappeared from social media from 2021 to 2024.

During that period of time, it was not known where Keith Gill went, or whether or not he even had a continued interest in GME stock. Critics of GME would sometimes claim that Keith Gill sold his shares, and therefore no longer had any continued interest in GME.

Then in 2024, Keith Gill returned to social media during the burp, showing a significantly increased GME position. This demonstrates that those who doubted Keith Gill's continued interest in that period of time from 2021 to 2024 had been making baseless claims.

The latest evidence that explicitly showed Keith Gill's continued interest in GME was from June 13, 2024. It is therefore unknown whether or not he continues to hold shares of GME.
