The latest chapter in the saga of GameStop’s (GME) stock was written yesterday when star investor Keith “Roaring Kitty” Gill posted his first YOLO report in over three years to Reddit. It led to the stock’s latest pop when the market opened this morning. It apparently caught the attention of broker Etrade, as the company is reportedly now considering the idea of kicking Keith Gill off its platform.

A new report from the Wall Street Journal alleges that Etrade is considering removing Keith Gill from its platform over concerns of stock manipulation following the activity of GameStop (GME) stock this morning, likely the result of Gill’s YOLO report on the r/Superstonk subreddit last night. It was Gill’s first post since 2021, and GameStop stock was valued at $40.08 this morning, nearly doubling its value from Friday.

If Keith Gill is indeed booted from Etrade, it’ll likely send waves through GameStop’s online community of investors. We’d likely see Gill take his business to another broker.

For now, word of Keith Gill being kicked off Etrade is just a rumor. If that changes, you can expect to read about it on our Roaring Kitty topic page.
