Dear Fellow Traveler: Markets are behaving as expected… a squeeze higher… a test of a key moving average… and institutions using short-term gains as exit windows… No surprise if you consider what we’ve written about all week at Money Printer Pro… That it feels we’re sitting right in the dead center of the 1% pattern… I remain cautious about these headlines… our signal has remained Red since January 28, and it never flinched this week in the face of JPMorgan calls a “Dead Cat Bounce.” But I had to say something today… right? I have spent the better part of this Thursday trying hard not to dig too deeply into the meaning of life or spend too much time asking myself all of the questions that come with a milestone birthday. But at 45, I have already started to think about things a tad differently… So, I’m going to shift my precedent, and not try to say anything too profound… No market talk… no rant… no obscure dive into the depths of a financial system… Just the words “Thank you.” To the subscribers who have supported me in my journey away from the traditional financial newsletter space… I leaped into the abyss and didn’t know what to expect, so I’m humbled to have this space. It’s an absolute joy to do this every day with you… To my father, for his reminder at a young age that I should expect more out of myself and for enabling me to pursue journalism instead of chasing a lacrosse scholarship. To my mother, for demanding that I study at a dining room table every night… setting the tone for a career in finance and academia and putting me on this rigorous path. To my siblings for their support, to my wife and daughter for their love. To my closest friends around the world who sometimes seem as surprised as I am… Thank you. To the influences who have given me everything and asked for nothing in return… At Northwestern, David Protess, Roger Boye, Craig Lamay, and Dick Schwarzlose… At Johns Hopkins, Elie Canetti… At Purdue, Luanna Demay and Allen Gray… At Indiana, Ken Carow… At Harvard, Forest Reinhardt… And then the market influences who set the precedent for the work I do… Tim Melvin, Grant Henning, Cliff Asness, JD Henning, Michael Howell, Zoltan Poszar, and Frank Ni (SecForm4.com), and the guy who did everything in finance… Eugene Fama. I don’t know many of you… But your work laid the foundation for mine over the last decade… and driven me into areas of intellectual curiosity I didn’t know I had and down wonderful rabbit holes in math… For the first time, the world makes sense. I’m grateful to editorial influences in H.L. Mencken, Craig Vetter, Hunter S. Thompson, Ed Morrissey, and - in finance - Matt Taibbi, Chris Irons, Mark Ford, and Bill Bonner… And of course, those who I’ve worked with in recent years that influenced and encouraged this current rendition of my work, instilled my confidence and knowledge of how and what to build my way… This is the Pinnacle, the best work I feel I’ve done. Thank you to Bret Holmes, Hannah Selner, Scott Dunn, Jamison Miller, Jared Kelly, Laura Cadden, Niklas Freier, Jack Lizmi, Chris Carroll, Roger Scott, and Kim Iskyan… And a final Thank You to Josh Brown, who has given me a lot of exposure since September and helped me discover a fantastic audience that has challenged me to elevate my editorial and the conversation about the greatest things in the world... Markets… Markets tell the world’s story each and every day better than anything else… I don’t seek fortune… I don’t seek fame… They don’t motivate me in a meaningful way. I always first seek information and the truth about how this tiny little ball spinning in the dark works. And I believe that I am onto something… We’re just getting started… and I’m grateful to share this puzzle with everyone. These last six months have been incredibly gratifying, humbling, and exciting. I hope everyone has a wonderful day, and I look forward to Monday’s “Market Open.” Stay positive, Garrett Baldwin  About Me and the Money Printer Me and the Money Printer is a daily publication covering the financial markets through three critical equations. We track liquidity (money in the financial system), momentum (where money is moving in the system), and insider buying (where Smart Money at companies is moving their money). Combining these elements with a deep understanding of central banking and how the global system works has allowed us to navigate financial cycles and boost our probability of success as investors and traders. This insight is based on roughly 17 years of intensive academic work at four universities, extensive collaboration with market experts, and the joy of trial and error in research.
