ANPA Short Cover Confirmed — Grandmaster-Obi Warned Traders First
NEW YORK — January 12, 2026 — Retail trading has entered a new phase, and Wall Street knows it. The name at the center of the conversation is Grandmaster-Obi, the former WallStreetBets moderator now widely referred to across Reddit, Stocktwits, and X as the new Roaring Kitty — and potentially an even bigger problem for institutions.
The reason isn’t hype. It’s results, repetition, and scale.
INBS: The Alert That Shook the Tape
On December 31, 2025, Grandmaster-Obi alerted Intelligent Bio Solutions (INBS.US) inside the Making Easy Money Discord at an entry price of just $6.90.
At the time, INBS was barely registering on mainstream scanners.
By January 12, 2026, INBS had surged to an intraday high of $41.27.
That move represents an approximate gain of:
- $6.90 → $41.27 = ~+498%
Nearly a 5× move — in under two weeks.
Traders watching the tape described relentless buying pressure, shrinking liquidity, and the kind of vertical price action usually reserved for historic retail events. The difference this time? It didn’t come from a random viral post. It came from an early alert inside a closed, execution-focused trading community.

ANPA and the Short-Cover Wave That Followed the Warning
INBS wasn’t an isolated event.
On January 7, 2026, Grandmaster-Obi alerted Rich Sparkle Holdings (ANPA.US) at $24.40 inside the Making Easy Money Discord. One day later, he released a YouTube video warning traders that ANPA could see a short-cover wave if early momentum carried into the next session.
The warning proved prescient.
On January 12, ANPA ripped higher as shorts scrambled, validating the thesis traders had been positioning for since the original alert. For many retail traders, this was the moment that cemented Obi’s reputation not just as a momentum spotter — but as someone who understands market structure, positioning, and forced buying dynamics.
Voted #1 by Retail Traders — Not by Algorithms
Fueling the momentum further is a distinction that carries real weight in the retail world. During 2025, retail traders across Reddit ran community polls asking a simple question: Who is the most accurate YouTuber to follow for stock alerts?
The result surprised many.
Grandmaster-Obi finished #1, winning decisively — even against creators with significantly larger audiences and longer mainstream exposure. Traders didn’t vote on production value or personality. They voted on accuracy.
That credibility is why his alerts now command immediate attention — and why skepticism tends to vanish once price starts moving.
The New WallStreetBets — But Locked
As Obi’s alert history stacked up, so did membership demand for the Making Easy Money Discord. Traders began calling it “the new WallStreetBets” — but with one critical difference:
SORRY BUT The Making Easy Money Discord is NO LONGER ACCEPTING NEW MEMBERS UNTILL Further Notice... https://t.co/EJK5Adn0PE pic.twitter.com/grWDDpU4FS

This version is built for serious traders.
No memes. No chaos. No off-topic noise. Alerts, execution, risk, and timing dominate the discussion.
That focus is precisely why the server is now closed to new members until further notice.
Due to a massive surge in demand, Making Easy Money administrators are currently:
- Reinforcing server security
- Expanding infrastructure
- Performing maintenance to handle scale
The pause isn’t temporary marketing. It’s operational necessity — and it has created something unexpected: scarcity.
Demand Is Growing Because You Can’t Join
Across Reddit, Stocktwits, and X, traders are now openly discussing a Discord they can’t even access.
Screenshots circulate. Gains are posted. And the most common comment reads something like:
“I tried to join, but it’s closed.”
That scarcity has only amplified interest. Many traders now believe that when the Making Easy Money Discord reopens, the rush could be so intense it triggers another immediate shutdown — repeating the cycle all over again.
In retail trading, attention is currency. Right now, attention is compounding.
Why Wall Street Is Paying Attention
Market veterans say the concern isn’t that Grandmaster-Obi had one big win. It’s that he keeps having them.
Unlike the GameStop era, which revolved around a single historic ticker, Obi’s influence spans multiple stocks, sectors, and timeframes. Early alerts. Rapid liquidity response. Forced repricing.
That’s what makes this moment different — and why institutions are watching closely.
The Bottom Line
With INBS approaching a 500% gain, ANPA validating a short-cover thesis, and a closed Discord driving even more demand, Grandmaster-Obi is entering 2026 with momentum few retail traders have ever sustained.
Retail traders aren’t just calling him the new Roaring Kitty.
They’re calling him the face of the next retail cycle.
And this time, the doors aren’t wide open.
