GameStop and AMC Stocks Rise. How Roaring Kitty Just Reignited the Meme Frenzy. -- Barrons.com

Meme stocks are back. Though, in truth they never really went away.

GameStop stock jumped 6% Thursday and was up another 2% in premarket trading Friday. Its meme-stock sidekick AMC Entertainment was enjoying a similar boost -- 1.5% up ahead of the open after a 6% rise in the previous session.

The reason for the move typifies what the meme-stock frenzy is all about -- speculation and volatility driven by an online meme.

It all came from a cryptic post by Keith Gill -- the influential trader known as 'Roaring Kitty'. The post, on X, depicts a mocked-up Time magazine front cover with a blank computer screen and keyboard. It drove plenty of speculation in the replies as to the meaning of the post.

Many suggested the screen's high volume bar was significant. GameStop was certainly trading with higher volume than usual Thursday -- at 370% of its average, according to Barron's data. It was also the top 10 most actively traded stocks in premarket trading Friday, with AMC not far behind.

The timing of the post is also significant -- GameStop is due to report earnings after the close Tuesday.

Whatever the meaning behind Roaring Kitty's meme, it's going to be a volatile few days for some of the old favorites of retail investors.
