GameStop (NYSE:GME) stock is rocketing higher on Tuesday as the video game retailer’s shares are still rallying on the return of Roaring Kitty.
Roaring Kitty is the investor behind the GME stock rally of 2021. That spread to other companies, creating a massive meme stock rally that year. However, the investor went radio silent back in 2021.
Over the weekend, Roaring Kitty returned to social media with a post on X. That sent shares of GME and other meme stocks higher on Monday. This movement continues today as Roaring Kitty continues to post memes and videos to his social media account.
With all of this recent activity, traders are clearly taking interest in meme stocks once more. This likely has them hoping that the market will see a repeat of 2021. If that happens, GME and other meme stocks could come out on top through short squeezes and other rallies.
