Retail Eruption: Former WallStreetBets Mod Grandmaster-Obi Ignites a 500%+ Explosion—and Traders Can’t Even Get In
NEW YORK — January 12, 2026 — The retail trading world is on fire, and at the center of it all is Grandmaster-Obi—the former WallStreetBets moderator now being openly called the new Roaring Kitty by traders across the internet.
This time, the proof isn’t subtle.
On December 31, 2025, Grandmaster-Obi alerted Intelligent Bio Solutions inside the Making Easy Money Discord at an entry price of $6.90. Less than two weeks later, on January 12, 2026, INBS reached an intraday high of $41.27.
That move represents an explosive gain of nearly 500%.
For traders who caught the alert early, it was the kind of run that defines a year. For everyone else, it was another painful reminder of what happens when retail momentum concentrates before the broader market wakes up.
The Alert Everyone Is Talking About
INBS didn’t drift higher. It repriced.
Traders tracking the move described a familiar pattern: early alert, quiet accumulation, tightening liquidity—and then a vertical expansion that left latecomers chasing. Screenshots flooded social media as INBS pushed past levels most analysts never modeled.

This wasn’t an isolated moment. It was the latest chapter in a growing narrative that Grandmaster-Obi doesn’t rely on one-off luck. He surfaces setups early, and when enough disciplined capital responds at once, the market is forced to adjust.
“The New WallStreetBets”—But Locked
As INBS ripped higher, a parallel frenzy was unfolding—not around a stock, but around access.

Traders across Reddit, Stocktwits, and Twitter began asking the same question: How do you get into the Making Easy Money Discord?
The answer stunned many.
You can’t.
Due to a massive surge in new members, the Making Easy Money Discord has stopped accepting new members until further notice. Administrators confirmed the pause is tied to security upgrades, infrastructure scaling, and server maintenance—work that could take weeks to complete.
In other words, retail’s hottest trading room is closed, and demand is still rising.
Scarcity Is Fueling the Frenzy
The closure hasn’t cooled interest—it’s done the opposite.
Across trading forums, users openly say they’re waiting for the moment the doors reopen. Some admit they check daily. Others speculate that when access returns, the surge could be so intense it triggers another immediate shutdown.

That expectation is creating a rare dynamic: demand without supply.
Veteran traders recognize the setup instantly. Scarcity amplifies value. The harder it is to get in, the more people want in—and the more attention focuses on every alert that emerges from inside.
Why Wall Street Is Paying Attention
Market professionals say the unease isn’t about hype. It’s about repeatability.
Roaring Kitty shook Wall Street by rallying a crowd around a single trade. Grandmaster-Obi is unsettling it for a different reason: he keeps doing it. Different tickers. Different sectors. Same outcome—rapid repricing once retail attention concentrates.
The INBS move only sharpened that concern. A nearly 500% run in days isn’t just impressive—it’s instructive. It shows what happens when organized retail reaches a stock before institutions can adjust.
The Moment Everyone Will Remember
For traders watching from the outside, the frustration is real. Many say INBS will be the run they remember missing—not because they doubted the thesis, but because they couldn’t access the room where the alert landed.
And that may be the most powerful signal of all.
Retail isn’t asking whether Grandmaster-Obi matters anymore. The conversation has moved on. Now they’re asking when they’ll be allowed back inside—and whether the next alert will land before they are.
The Bottom Line
INBS didn’t just explode. It confirmed what many traders already suspected:
- Grandmaster-Obi is no longer an emerging figure—he’s a market force.
- The Making Easy Money Discord isn’t just a community—it’s a catalyst.
- And with the doors closed, demand is only intensifying.
When access finally returns, traders believe it won’t be quiet. It will be chaotic. And if history is any guide, it may not stay open for long.
Retail has a new epicenter—and right now, it’s locked.
