Dear Reader, You subscribe to a new financial newsletter. The research looks sharp. The thesis is compelling. AI infrastructure, nuclear energy, crypto. The fundamentals check out. You buy in. And then the stocks tank. It could have happened to you in late July 2024… March 2025… October 2025… and as soon as last week… It’s not because the companies were bad… Things like Quantum Computing and AI are exciting. But the market turned against you, and no one warned you it was happening. Maybe you toss in the towel… demand a refund… walk away from investing completely. I’ve watched this for 12 years… and I’ve long said… the big problem is that we don’t have much quantitative analysis to assess when momentum is breaking down… or, better yet, is more likely to break down. On February 4, 2026, momentum stocks had one of their worst days in 25 years. A four-sigma event, the kind of thing that’s supposed to happen once every 63 years. AI names, nuclear plays, high-beta growth… all of it got taken out back and shot. The same thing happened to Bitcoin in the last week as well… But on January 28, a week before, I told every subscriber to the Capital Wave Report that something was wrong. The readers who listened were already on the sidelines when it hit. Keith K. wrote me afterward: “Following your line of thinking on momentum and liquidity saved me mucho bucks. You’ve made it all very approachable and engaging for the average Joe like me.” One Number. Every Day. Each morning, I will be publishing the Capital Wave Score, a single reading that tracks sector-level momentum shifts, volume conviction, and net directional pressure across every stock in the S&P 500, the NASDAQ 100, the Russell 2000, and the NOW U.S. ETFs. It measures the balance between stocks surging (”Screamers”) and stocks collapsing (”Crashers”). That balance is the score. It helps us understand flows right now, and assesses in real time the probabilities of breakouts and reversals. This is the math underneath the market, the structural shift that shows up days to weeks before the headline index catches on. Since 2020, it’s gone negative before every major drawdown. COVID. The 2022 hedge fund blowup. Silicon Valley Bank. The Nikkei Implosion. Liberation Day. And the crash two weeks ago. This isn’t an Omen, an algorithm, or a model. It’s an equation… hard core calculus… Your Other Newsletters Can’t Do ThisYou probably subscribe to other financial letters and trading services. Good. Keep them. But even a brilliant stock pick turns into an expensive mistake if you pull the trigger while the market’s internal machinery is breaking down. Think of the Capital Wave Report as the layer underneath everything else you read. It’s your insurance… The one that tells you whether today is actually a good day to act, or whether you should sit on your hands and wait. David C. wrote me before the Liberation Day crash: “I am not a wealthy investor… But after you announced your signals went red, I moved a third of my equity-based retirement portfolio into cash equivalents, a little over 100K. That saved me several thousand dollars, and counting.” What Shows Up in Your InboxThe Capital Wave Score across four market universes, updated daily. Market analysis connecting capital flows to price action. An insider buying tracker that has flagged every major crisis bottom since 2008. A liquidity dashboard on the Fed and Treasury. A new ETF flow detection system is already spotting aggressive sector rotations before they appear in prices. Model portfolios of quality companies built for low risk and high-momentum upside. And macro analysis on the policy shifts that create tradeable turning points. $80 a Year. Going Away Soon. The Capital Wave Report normally costs $160. We’re raising it to $200 in about a month. Right now, you can lock in $80, less than $7 a month, for as long as you’re a member. Or… if you’re on a budget right now… $8 A MONTH. Next time the market turns, you’ll either have the number or you won’t. SUBSCRIBE TO THE CAPITAL WAVE REPORT — $80/YEAR I’ll chat with you in the morning… 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.
