The latest GameStop Corp. frenzy has coaxed a big critic of the meme-stock craze – and a notable loser back in 2021 — off the sidelines with a new short position.
Andrew Left, the founder of Citron Research, placed a new bet against the video-game retailer whose stock price soared as much as 75% Monday after Keith Gill, an investor and meme stock influencer who goes by DeepF---ing Value on Reddit, showed a stake of five million GameStop shares. In May, Left also announced a short position in the company’s shares.
