“I am not a cat, I am not an institutional investor, nor am I a hedge fund,” Keith Gill (@TheRoaringKitty) tells the House Committee on Financial Services. “I’m just an individual whose investment in GameStop and posts on social media were based on my own research and analysis.” pic.twitter.com/FLxSHfUpZW

'I am not a cat'
Appearing via Zoom for a House Financial Services Committee hearing, the 34-year-old Massachusetts investor winked to his anonymous account, appearing in front of a cat poster, saying to the panel: "I am not a cat. Nor am I an institutional investor, nor am I a hedge fund. I do not have clients, and I do not provide personalized investment advice for fees or commissions," adding that his posts 'did not cause the movement of billions of dollars into GameStop shares'.
