Roaring Kitty has more in common with Warren Buffett than Reddit

With GameStop, Roaring Kitty Channels His Inner Warren Buffett — Tae Kim

Roaring Kitty and the Oracle of Omaha may have more in common than you think. GameStop Corp.'s wild ride this year shows how. 

It's only March and already the video-game retailer's stock has had two epic rallies and one stunning collapse this year, a product of rampant speculation and a short squeeze.
