TheoLive: Market Masters with Garrett Baldwin

Dear Reader:

My relatives, friends, and colleagues have all asked me the same question.

There’s a suspicion that something about these markets and the economy is off.

They sense that what they’re being told isn’t the whole story.

They turn on the news, and they don’t get any real answers.

Just opinion and noise.

This sell-off took almost everyone by surprise.

Now, they’re getting no help on what comes next or a bunch of Wall Street analysts trying to dump overpriced stocks while talking up their positions.

I get a lot of calls and emails as a result.

I spend a lot of time answering their questions, explaining what the Federal Reserve is doing, delving into the financial markets' underbelly, and helping them understand what isn’t covered on CNBC or in mainstream financial media.

I take it all very seriously as an economist, investor, financial journalist, and historian.

I know this is a difficult time, but I’ve experienced financial panics eight times in my career, dating back to the Dot-Com Bubble. Naturally, I have plenty of insight into what investors should do, where they should focus next, and how to control their emotions.

For the last 18 months, hundreds of my friends, readers, and colleagues have asked me to put all this insight into one place. And what better place than with you each morning?

I’ve launched a FREE daily morning show at TheoTradeLive called Market Masters. 

I’m here each weekday to help you navigate these markets and the economy.

There’s no pitch.

Just actionable insight that you can use daily in the markets and life.

What to Expect Today

I will level with you this morning when I go on camera at 8:45 am EST.

I’ll show you exactly what’s happening - right now - as only I can.

Today, we’re covering:

  • The looming government shutdown and how it impacts your money.

  • The core drivers of this recent selloff - and how to handle your portfolio now.

  • The one thing you can control… and why it will help you protect, preserve, and build your wealth.

  • Our Free Daily Watchlist and when it’s time to take action.

This will be the most informative 35 minutes this week (so far), so please join me.

Stay positive,

Garrett Baldwin
