After EVTV Surges 500% Retail Is Watching in Real Time as the Making Easy Money Discord Prepares to Reopen

NEW YORK — January 13, 2026 — Retail trading is once again being driven by urgency, scarcity, and results. At the center of the conversation is Grandmaster-Obi, the former WallStreetBets moderator whose alerts have continued to surface explosive momentum plays — even as the community where those alerts originate remains closed to new members.

That community, the Making Easy Money Discord, was recently locked and set to private following an unprecedented surge in demand. Since then, traders across Reddit, Stocktwits, and X have been openly speculating about when the doors will reopen — and whether they’ll be fast enough to get in when they do.

Fueling that anticipation is one simple fact: the alerts haven’t slowed down.

EVTV: From Pennies to Parabolic in 24 Hours

On January 12, 2026, Grandmaster-Obi alerted Envirotech Vehicles (EVTV.US) at an entry price of $0.78.

At the time, EVTV was trading quietly, with limited mainstream attention.

By January 13, 2026, the stock reached an intraday high of $4.87.

That move represents an approximate gain of:

• $0.78 → $4.87 = ~+524%

For retail traders, the speed of the move stood out as much as the magnitude. EVTV repriced in less than a day — the type of expansion typically associated with thin liquidity, concentrated attention, and fast-moving momentum.

Traders watching from the outside noted the irony: one of the largest moves of the week originated from a Discord they couldn’t even join.

MRNO Continues Its Multi-Week Run

EVTV wasn’t the only name drawing attention.

On December 31, 2025, Grandmaster-Obi alerted Murano Global Investments (MRNO.US) at $0.55. While MRNO had already delivered significant gains earlier in January, the move extended further.

By January 13, 2026, MRNO reached a high of $2.45, marking a total gain of:

• $0.55 → $2.45 = ~+345%

What traders found notable wasn’t just the percentage — it was the durability of the move. Rather than a single spike, MRNO advanced in waves, reinforcing the perception that these alerts weren’t isolated moments but part of a broader momentum framework.

Results Without Access: Why Demand Keeps Rising

Normally, strong alerts drive membership growth. In this case, something more unusual is happening.

The Making Easy Money Discord remains closed, with administrators focused on server maintenance, infrastructure upgrades, and security reinforcement after a wave of inbound traders. Yet discussion around the community has intensified, not faded.

Screenshots of EVTV and MRNO circulate daily. Threads speculate about missed entries. And a recurring theme dominates comment sections:

“Imagine catching these alerts live.”

That scarcity has created a feedback loop. The more results appear while access is restricted, the stronger the demand becomes.

A Signal That Reopening May Be Near

Adding to the anticipation, Grandmaster-Obi recently posted on X that the Making Easy Money Discord is “almost ready” to accept new members again. While no firm date has been announced, traders interpret the message as confirmation that reopening is approaching — and that it may be brief.

In less than seven days, multiple alerts produced triple-digit percentage moves, underscoring why a growing number of retail traders are referring to this community as the “new WallStreetBets.”

Given the last intake surge, many believe that when the doors open, the rush could be intense enough to trigger another rapid pause.

Why Traders Are Paying Attention Now

For retail veterans, the pattern feels familiar.

Before major retail inflection points, access matters as much as information. Traders remember watching pivotal moments unfold from the outside — only to realize later that the edge was being early and being present.

With EVTV delivering a more-than-500% move in a day and MRNO continuing a multi-week expansion, the question circulating now isn’t whether momentum exists — it’s where it’s forming.

The Bottom Line

Even while closed to new members, the Making Easy Money Discord continues to influence retail conversation through results alone. Grandmaster-Obi’s latest alerts have reinforced a narrative that’s spreading quickly across trading communities: the action is happening early, and access may be limited when it returns.

For traders watching from the sidelines, the message is becoming clearer by the day:

When the doors reopen, hesitation may cost more than a missed trade.
