Every dated thing the machine holds about GameStop, in one stream — and the emoji
theory put through the same test any other signal on this site has to pass.
THE EMOJI THEORY, TESTED
The usual version of this section is a glossary: 🚀 means a launch is coming, 🔥 means the
squeeze is near, 👀 means we are being watched. Readings like that cannot be wrong —
whatever the stock does, the emoji was about it. A claim that survives every outcome
isn't telling you anything.
So here is the other version. For each dated Roaring Kitty post, what GameStop
actually did: the move that session, the volume against its own 20-day average, and
where the price sat 1, 5 and 20 sessions later.
+5.9%median, day of 7/11 positive
+1.4%median, 1 day on 6/11 positive
-3.6%median, 5 days on 4/11 positive
-4.0%median, 20 days on 4/11 positive
2.6xmedian volume vs 20-day 11/11 positive
One effect is unanimous, and it isn't direction. Every single post landed on a day
with volume above the 20-day average — 11 out of
11. The direction faded: positive on the day,
roughly a coin flip the next, and underwater more often than not a week and a month later.
The posts reliably summoned a crowd. They did not reliably move the price anywhere it stayed.

11 distinct market sessions. There are 12 dated posts, but
2024-05-12 was a Sunday — its reaction session is 2024-05-13, the same session as the
May 13 burst — so counting both would count one day twice. This is a small sample:
eleven days, one author, one ticker, one year. It is enough to say the volume effect was
real and not enough to trade on, which is why nothing on this desk does.
The undated emojis — 🚀 Rocket 🍏 Green Apple 😼 Smirking Cat 🎯 Target 👀 Eyes (3rd) — 'we are HERE' 🔥 Fire 💥 Big Bang 🍻 Cheers — are the part of the theory with no date attached, which is exactly why they cannot be scored. They get mapped onto whichever measurable date comes next:
2 of these 6 dates have already passed without resolving the roadmap. That is the honest score of an undated prediction: it never comes due, so it is never wrong.
THE TIMELINE
110 dated events · 2020-08-28 to 2026-10-30 · newest first.
Filings link to EDGAR.
Live, pulled by the machine: 95 SEC filings from EDGAR (RC Ventures and
Ryan Cohen back to 2020, GameStop's most recent 50), the r/Superstonk scan, and the
emoji event study, which is computed from daily price and volume data rather than
written down.
Not live, and not pretending to be: the 4 social posts. Nothing here is
authorised to read X, so that file is a hand-maintained log — the Ryan Cohen entry
is dated 2025-11-20 and says so. There is no GameStop Twitter feed here. Four curated
posts under a heading that implied a feed would be the kind of quiet lie this site
exists not to tell, so: four posts, curated, last touched when the dates say.
