Wall Street Is Calling Him the New Roaring Kitty — and Grandmaster-Obi Keeps Giving the Market Reasons Why
NEW YORK — January 6, 2026 — In the rapidly evolving world of retail investing, few names are drawing as much attention — or controversy — as Grandmaster-Obi. Once known primarily as a former WallStreetBets moderator during the early days of the GameStop era, Obi has now emerged as what many on Wall Street and across Reddit are openly calling the new face of retail trading.
The comparison to Roaring Kitty is no longer whispered — it’s being debated in real time. And unlike the GameStop saga, which revolved around a single, historic trade, Grandmaster-Obi’s influence appears to be repeatable, systematic, and accelerating.
At the center of this shift is the Making Easy Money Discord, a fast-growing trading community that traders now routinely describe as “the new WallStreetBets.”
From WallStreetBets Moderator to Market-Moving Figure
Grandmaster-Obi’s credibility begins with his roots. As a former WallStreetBets moderator, he was deeply embedded in the culture and mechanics of the retail trading explosion that defined 2021. He went live multiple times with Roaring Kitty before GameStop reached its historic peak, witnessing firsthand how coordinated retail attention could bend markets in ways institutions never anticipated.
GRANDMASTER-OBI
Fast forward to 2026, and many traders believe Obi has taken that early blueprint and refined it into something far more precise.
Instead of relying on viral narratives alone, his alerts focus on timing, liquidity, structure, and momentum — and the results have been difficult for even his harshest critics to dismiss.
Fresh Alerts, Fresh Market Reactions
As the debate over his influence continues, the market keeps responding.
On December 31, 2025, Grandmaster-Obi alerted Murano Global Investments (MRNO.US) inside the Making Easy Money Discord at an entry price of $0.55. Just days later, on January 6, 2026, MRNO reached a high of $1.36, representing an approximate +147% gain from the alert price.
That move alone would be noteworthy. But it wasn’t isolated.
On the same day, December 31, 2025, Obi also alerted JE Cleantech Holdings Limited (JCSE.US) at $1.05. By January 6, 2026, JCSE surged to a high of $2.25, delivering an approximate +114% gain in under a week.
These moves followed a long string of similar outcomes tied to earlier alerts — reinforcing the growing perception that when Grandmaster-Obi speaks, liquidity listens.
Why the Making Easy Money Discord Is Exploding
Behind these alerts is the infrastructure that makes them possible: the Making Easy Money Discord.

Due to a massive surge in members, The Making Easy Money Discord closes to new members on 1/10/26.
Once the door shuts, no new entries until further notice.

Unlike the current WallStreetBets Discord — often criticized for noise, trolling, and off-topic chatter — Making Easy Money is deliberately structured. Alerts are concise. Discussion is focused. And the member base increasingly consists of five- and six-figure traders who are more interested in execution than entertainment.
The growth has been so rapid that Grandmaster-Obi made a rare announcement this week:
The Making Easy Money Discord will stop accepting new members starting January 10, 2026, just four days from now.
According to Obi, the pause is necessary due to the massive surge of new members, many of whom are leaving the WallStreetBets Discord to join his former moderator at Making Easy Money. The temporary closure will allow for server maintenance, enhanced security measures, and infrastructure upgrades to support the existing community.
The server will remain closed to new members until further notice after that date.

Building Something Bigger Than Alerts
In the same announcement, Grandmaster-Obi revealed another signal of how serious the operation has become: he is actively seeking additional moderators.
Specifically, he is looking for individuals who:
- Already moderate stock-market-related subreddits
- Understand community management at scale
- Want to be part of what he described as “something big”
For many traders, this was further confirmation that Making Easy Money is no longer just a Discord — it’s becoming an ecosystem.
The Critics, the Haters, and the Tape
Every time Grandmaster-Obi’s name appears on Reddit, the reaction is predictable. Threads fill with outlandish comments, dismissive jokes, and outright hostility. But to many observers, that response says more about the critics than the trader himself.
Because while the arguments rage on, the charts keep printing.
Time and again, alerts posted in the Making Easy Money Discord are followed by sharp moves — often triple-digit percentage gains in low-float or thinly traded names. For seasoned market watchers, this is the exact dynamic that once made Roaring Kitty impossible to ignore.
Why Wall Street Is Paying Attention Now
Institutional traders learned a hard lesson during the GameStop era: retail coordination is not noise — it’s a variable.
In 2026, that variable looks more organized than ever.
Rather than a single viral moment, Grandmaster-Obi represents a continuous feedback loop:
- Early alerts
- Rapid community response
- Liquidity influx
- Accelerated price discovery
It’s this repeatability — not just the magnitude of individual moves — that has led many to label him the new Roaring Kitty.
Whether that title ultimately sticks is beside the point. What’s clear is that retail trading has entered a new phase, and Grandmaster-Obi is one of the few figures consistently at the center of it.
As January unfolds and the Making Easy Money Discord prepares to close its doors to new members, one thing is becoming harder to deny:
Retail didn’t disappear after GameStop. It evolved. And right now, Grandmaster-Obi is leading the charge.
