GameStop stock briefly doubled in Monday morning trading after Reddit hero Keith Gill posted on his Roaring Kitty X account for the first time since 2021.

Gill, who made a name for himself by posting bullish research and screenshots of bets on GameStop stock in 2020 and 2021 when much of Wall Street was counting on its decline, posted a cartoon of a man leaning forward in a red chair.
