All Are Welcome (8:45 ET - Live)

Good morning everyone:

I hope that you've had a great start to Wednesday. We're kicking off TheoLive Market Masters in 30 minutes… and this is your opportunity to join us if you haven't before.

Again, I'm Garrett Baldwin - economist, host, active investor and trader, and reluctant Baltimore Orioles fan. You can't win them all…

Each day I do a FREE show at TheoTrade that launched 60 days ago. It's called TheoLive Market Masters. And it's not about any of today's hosts being experts in the markets. It's about turning you into one by providing you with the best insights possible.

If you haven't joined us before - now's the time. We're just hitting our stride. Each day hundreds of like-minded traders and investors join us in our Free room, while more than a thousand of our Paid members attend as well. (It's just $7 to join for your first month).

So - what do we have on tap for you today?

We'll also unpack where capital is actually moving under the surface — a theme I'll be picking back up tomorrow in a deeper session with Blake.

Tune In, Tune Up

Each day, I take the market down to a SINGLE NUMBER. It's called Momentum, and it's the quantitative assessment of money flows in the S&P 500 right now.

Right now, sentiment is still strong - but…

We've seen a decline in buying pressure as we approach a wall of critical earnings.

Stocks that are breaking down include Super Micro Computer (SCMI), First Solar (FSLR), Pool Corp. (POOL), and Alexandria Real Estate Equities (ARE)

Want to know what's going on elsewhere? We'll discuss momentum around 9 am.

How the World Works

This morning, a gift arrived in my mailbox. It was a FREE explanation of the Liquidity world view from Michael Howell. We're going through this… because this is a very important factor in the way that I look at the macroeconomic side of finance.

In a water-fall world of finance… It goes…
