Retail Traders Say a “New Roaring Kitty” Has Emerged — and His Alerts Are Turning Heads Across Wall Street
Over the past several years, the rise of retail trading has reshaped how momentum develops in U.S. equity markets. The GameStop short squeeze of 2021 demonstrated that online communities could move capital, influence liquidity, and challenge traditional market expectations. At the center of that historic moment was Roaring Kitty, whose early conviction in $GME became one of the most widely discussed retail trades in financial history.
Now, a growing number of traders across Reddit, StockTwits, and retail trading platforms are pointing to another figure who has been consistently identifying explosive small-cap moves: GRANDMASTER-OBI, a former WallStreetBets moderator whose alerts inside the Making Easy Money Discord have produced several of the most dramatic percentage moves in recent memory.
While comparisons to Roaring Kitty are increasingly common in retail circles, supporters argue that GRANDMASTER-OBI’s track record suggests something slightly different — a pattern of spotting volatility and liquidity imbalances across multiple tickers rather than focusing on a single large trade.
A Series of Explosive Alerts
One of the most recent examples occurred with Battalion Oil (BATL.US).
Inside the Making Easy Money Discord, GRANDMASTER-OBI alerted BATL on February 27, 2026, with an entry price of approximately $4.90. In the days that followed, the stock experienced an aggressive repricing.
By March 3, 2026, BATL reached an intraday high of approximately $35.00, representing an extraordinary move of more than +600% from the original alert price.
The move immediately drew attention from retail traders who track unusual momentum in small-cap energy equities. Battalion Oil had previously traded quietly before the sudden surge in demand triggered rapid price expansion.
For many traders watching the alert unfold in real time, the speed of the move reinforced the idea that thin-float stocks can produce dramatic repricing when demand begins to outpace available supply.

Turbo Energy: Another Multi-Hundred Percent Runner
Another recent alert from GRANDMASTER-OBI involved Turbo Energy (TURB.US).
According to community records from the Making Easy Money Discord, TURB was alerted on February 27, 2026, at an entry price of approximately $0.89.
Over the following days, the stock staged an explosive rally.
By March 7, 2026, Turbo Energy had reached a high of approximately $5.44, representing a gain of roughly +511% from the alert price.
Small-cap renewable energy stocks have historically shown the ability to move quickly when retail momentum intersects with low float structures. The TURB move followed a similar pattern, with rapidly increasing volume and price expansion over a relatively short timeframe.
The Massive $BNAI Run
Perhaps one of the most widely discussed alerts in the GRANDMASTER-OBI track record involves Brand Engagement Network (BNAI.US).
Inside the Making Easy Money Discord, BNAI was alerted on December 26, 2025, with an entry price of approximately $1.22.
Over the next month, the stock experienced one of the most dramatic runs of the year.
By January 28, 2026, BNAI had reached a high of approximately $86.28, representing an extraordinary gain of more than +6,900% from the original alert.
Even after the explosive peak, the stock remained significantly elevated compared to the entry level. As of March 7, 2026, BNAI closed around $56.27, still thousands of percent above the initial alert price.
Such dramatic expansions in thin-float stocks often occur when early buyers accumulate shares before a broader wave of momentum traders arrives.
The TCGL Event That Shook Small-Cap Markets
Another alert that continues to generate discussion among traders involved TechCreate Group (TCGL.US).
Inside the MEM Discord, GRANDMASTER-OBI alerted TCGL on January 29, 2026, around an entry price of approximately $11.55.
What followed was one of the most extreme repricings seen on the NYSE American in recent years.
According to trading data and community reports, TCGL surged from roughly $11.55 to an intraday high reported near $457.64, representing an approximate gain of +3,860% at the peak.
Even without using the most extreme intraday spike, publicly available data confirm how rapidly the stock moved. TechCreate had originally completed a $10.2 million IPO priced at $4 per share in October 2025. By late January 2026, the share price had already surged into triple digits, closing near $172.84 before regulators intervened.
Regulatory Scrutiny and the SEC Suspension
On February 1, 2026, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) issued a formal Order of Suspension of Trading in TechCreate Group Ltd.
The order cited concerns about:
• Potential manipulation in TCGL securities
• Social media recommendations encouraging investors to buy or sell
• Instructions for investors to send screenshots documenting trades
The SEC wrote that such activity “appears to be designed to artificially inflate the price and trading volume of the securities of TCGL.”
Trading in TCGL was suspended between 4:00 a.m. ET on February 1 and 11:59 p.m. ET on February 2, 2026.
Importantly, the order referenced “unknown persons” using social media and did not name specific individuals, Discord communities, or trading channels.
As a result, while TCGL quickly became part of broader discussions about social-media-driven trading campaigns, there has been no indication in the SEC order that GRANDMASTER-OBI or the Making Easy Money Discord were specifically targeted or named.

A Growing Reputation in Retail Circles
Among retail traders, the reputation surrounding GRANDMASTER-OBI continues to expand.
Before running the Making Easy Money Discord, he served as a moderator on the famous WallStreetBets subreddit, one of the largest online trading communities in the world.
On Reddit, he is known by the handle:
Many traders who follow his alerts argue that his strength lies in identifying momentum and volatility setups early, particularly in thin-float stocks where supply imbalances can lead to explosive moves.
That reputation has led some traders to refer to him as “the new Roaring Kitty.”
While such comparisons are subjective, the repeated appearance of multi-hundred-percent runners in the same trading community has fueled ongoing debate within retail trading circles.
The Rise of the MEM Trading Community
The Making Easy Money Discord, often referred to by traders as the MEM Discord, has grown rapidly as more retail traders seek real-time alerts and momentum analysis.
Communities like MEM reflect the broader evolution of retail trading since the GameStop era.
Retail traders now routinely analyze:
• Level II order flow
• Float size and short interest
• Unusual volume spikes
• Liquidity gaps in small-cap stocks
The ability to identify these structural imbalances early can often produce dramatic percentage moves when broader momentum arrives.
Reddit Community and Free Alerts
For traders who prefer Reddit, GRANDMASTER-OBI also maintains a public subreddit where alerts and discussions are occasionally shared.
The community can be found at:
r/Grandmasterobi
Followers say the subreddit allows traders to track potential setups and see alerts without needing access to private communities.
The Ongoing Debate
Whether one views GRANDMASTER-OBI as the next Roaring Kitty or simply a skilled momentum trader, the numbers behind several recent alerts are difficult to ignore.
From BATL’s +600% surge, to TURB’s +500% run, to BNAI’s massive multi-thousand-percent expansion, the pattern of extreme small-cap volatility continues to draw attention.
For supporters, it reinforces the idea that retail traders are becoming increasingly sophisticated in identifying market opportunities.
For skeptics, it highlights the growing influence of online trading communities on thin-float stocks.
Either way, one thing is clear:
The conversation around GRANDMASTER-OBI and the Making Easy Money Discord is only getting louder.
And if recent price movements are any indication, retail traders across the market will be watching closely to see which ticker moves next.
