Retired airline captain Clyde Romero and Quantumvest CEO Taylor Roncancio discuss how they’ve invested in GameStop and short squeeze stocks.
As Robinhood continues to limit purchases of GameStop stock, Reddit users are egging on their compatriots to keep the momentum going, leading Quantumvest CEO Taylor Roncancio to predict on “The Claman Countdown” the stock isn’t finished hitting records.

“I do think [GameStop] is going to go to $1,000 [per share] or at least $700, maybe even higher,” he told host Liz Clayman.
Roncancio said the activity surrounding GameStop reminds him of last year’s Tesla short squeeze, which he said “dumbfounded” investors. Tesla’s stock price currently sits at more than $839 per share.
“But if investors really do like a stock and they’re not willing to sell it, then, more than likely, the price is going to continue to rise,” he said.
As with Tesla, investors are having a hard time looking past the fundamental irregularities and uncertainty of GameStop. But Roncancio explained that seasonal movement in the stock is enough to keep your money on it.
Ticker | Security | Last | Change | Change % |
---|---|---|---|---|
TSLA | TESLA INC. | 839.81 | +46.28 | +5.83% |
GME | GAMESTOP CORP | 225.00 | -100.00 | -30.77% |
Quantumvest bought into GameStop on Oct. 15, with the price at $13.52, which Roncancio said he considered a “great entry,” since the release of the wildly-popular PS5 gaming console brought an upswing in sales over the holiday season.

“Each year, around Christmas time, whenever a new console is released, the share price does rise,” he said. “We saw a lot of upside with the new release of the PS5 and the Xbox coming out, and historically the price has [risen] every single time.”
“So we’re very confident that the share price will appreciate.”
Roncancio said he’s also “very confident” in Chewy co-founder Ryan Cohen’s involvement in urging the success of the stock after he experienced a 1,700% return from a $76 million GameStop investment, according to Business Insider.

“I like what I’m seeing from GameStop and I like what I’m seeing from Ryan,” Roncancio concluded.
