Reddit Inc (NYSE:RDDT) shares are trading higher Monday after an account associated with GameStop Corp (NYSE:GME) trader Keith Gill posted on the platform for the first time in three years. 

What Happened: Gill, best known as “Roaring Kitty” on YouTube and X or “DeepF***ingValue” on Reddit, posted a screenshot to Reddit suggesting he currently has a $116 million bet on GameStop. Although the post is unconfirmed, the image appeared to show that the trader is holding 5 million shares of the video game retailer and 120,000 call options expiring later this month.

Gill posted a series of videos on YouTube leading up to the historic GameStop short squeeze in 2021. When the stock began squeezing, the trader began posting updates of his positions on Reddit’s r/WallStreetBets. Gill is often credited with sparking the meme stock madness of 2021.

Roaring Kitty first broke his silence on X a couple of weeks ago when he posted a meme of a person leaning forward in a chair. The meme created a short-lived buying frenzy in meme stocks, but most of the names involved pulled back as Gill went silent again. Sunday’s post is his first across social platforms since he posted a clip from the film “E.T.” on May 17.

Reddit made its long-awaited public debut on the New York Stock Exchange in March, opening for trading at $47 per share after setting an IPO price of $34 per share. Reddit said in its S-1 filing that “meme stock” schemes on r/WallStreetBets could pose a risk to investors. The stock is up approximately 16% over the last month.

CBD Of Denver’s Success In Challenging Climate With Increase In Q4 Revenue

By Jelena Martinovic
December 28, 12:02 PM
CBD of Denver has reported strong fourth-quarter revenues of approximately $1.31m, with $1.13m generated by Luxora and $176,000 by Libra 9. The CBD company attributed its growth to a number of factors, including its partnership with EDEKA and the popularity of its Magic Lappen product, both of which increased sales across Germany. CBD of Denver also highlighted the success of Libra 9's attendance at trade shows, which boosted brand recognition and allowed the company to form several significant partnerships. Meanwhile, Luxora's expansion into the European CBD wholesale market was credited with contributing significantly to the company's growth. Following the German government's expected approval of relevant legislation, Luxora Solutions will expand further into the German market. Germany's decision on legalising marijuana, which was set to be made in December, has been delayed until next year.
