Episode notes

The Roaring Kitty persona has become legendary in the investing world, with his Twitter activity symbolizing his significant power and influence. Despite the hype surrounding GameStop, the speaker reflects on his past experience of FOMO, cautioning against blindly following trends without thoughtful analysis. The narrative also shifts to Ryan Cohen, known for founding Chewy.com, who is expected to gain more prominence in the coming months. Cohen's strategy for Chewy.com involved heavy marketing spending despite initial losses, indicating a potential influence on GameStop's future.

Episode 594: Sam Parr ( https://twitter.com/theSamParr ) and Shaan Puri ( https://twitter.com/ShaanVP ) explain what’s happening with GameStop AGAIN and how Keith Gill turned $56k into $210M with memes.
