The Man Who Called the Gold Top Just Found Wall Street's $1.77 Trillion SpaceX Trap

Who is Garrett Baldwin?

The Newest Name on the Desk. And He Keeps Being Right.

You already know Option Pit. Garrett is the newest name on the desk: an economist and market writer with more than 15 years in the business, with work in Business Insider, Forbes, and Investopedia.

But the resume isn't the point. How he reads the market is.

Garrett doesn't trade headlines. He watches two things almost no one watches together: where the big money is flowing, and what company insiders are doing with their own cash.

When both line up, he buys. When they fall apart, he steps aside.

And it works. Here's the proof.

He's done this before

One Simple Signal. The Turns Nobody Saw Coming.

Garrett's signal, the one he calls the "1% Pattern," counts how many stocks are rising versus how many are falling. When the fallers take over, a warning flag goes up.

That flag has caught the moves most people missed:

• February 2025. The flag flashed red weeks before the spring crash.
• April 2025. It caught the bottom, the day the market shot up 10% in ten minutes and most people were too scared to move.
• This past January. It pulled him out of gold and silver, right at the top.

And his biggest week goes all the way back to June 2022. He turned a single trade into a gain of more than 1,500% in about a week.

One trade. Not a typical result. Past performance does not guarantee future returns.

So when Garrett says the whole crowd is wrong about SpaceX, it pays to look closer.

The other side of the frenzy

This Is Exactly What the Top of a Mania Looks Like.

Right now it's a frenzy. The headlines scream buy. Thousands of people wake up rich on paper. The fear of missing out is everywhere you look.

Here's what nobody on TV will say out loud. This price never got tested in the open market. It got to $1.77 trillion in private rooms, doubling from one insider deal to the next, until it finally went public.

The deal priced at more than twice what Morningstar calls fair value. The crowd is paying top dollar at the single most uncertain moment this company will ever have.

Garrett has seen this movie. It is the same setup that topped gold in January, and flashed red before the 2025 crash. Total certainty. Everyone leaning the same way. That is the exact moment he leans the other way.

And there is a softer target here than the stock itself.

You already know the easy move: buy the big names tied to SpaceX. Google. Nvidia. The banks that got in early. It won't work. SpaceX is a rounding error inside those giants. It barely moves them.

So Wall Street is pushing something that sounds smarter. A backdoor. Can't get SpaceX shares? Just buy one of these small funds that already own some. The pitch is everywhere.

It's a trap.

For years, those funds were the only way regular people could own a sliver of SpaceX. They were the only door in, so buyers paid a brutal markup to get through it. Even now, one of them still costs close to double what it actually holds.

Then the door opens. SpaceX hits the public market, and anyone can buy it directly. The one reason that markup ever existed just walked out the door.

This isn't a bet against rockets, or Starlink, or Elon. You can love SpaceX and still make this trade. It's a bet that a fake premium, propped up only because the door was locked, falls back to earth now that the door is wide open.

Garrett's play is a defined-risk options trade on the four funds most exposed when that premium breaks. You know your risk to the dollar before you put a cent down.

He's found the four names. He just won't say them yet.

Here's why he's making you wait.

Why he's making you wait until Tuesday

He's Not Forcing It. And That's a Good Thing.

A great trade rewards patience, not panic.

Garrett wants to watch the debut and Monday's first full day of trading. He wants to see how the market reacts before he commits.

Then, on Tuesday, June 16 at 11:30 a.m. ET, he hands you the whole trade: the four tickers, where to get in, and the exact point where he admits he's wrong and walks away.

The track record

24 Winning Trades Since September.

This isn't a guess.

Since September, the desk has closed 24 winning trades. Most wrapped up in under two weeks. Ten took less than five days.

None of these were complicated.

Take the GE trade. One simple options play. About $540 in, $1,250 out, in six days.

One member wrote in after the NVDA trade: in at $4.84, out at $8.10. Another sold AMZN calls for a 100% win.

Every trade went out in real time, by text and email. The ticker, the price, the exit. No guessing.

Not every trade is a winner. These are selected closed trades. Past performance. Results are not typical and do not guarantee future returns.

And it's not just the team cashing in.

Members trade right alongside the desk

Individual results. These experiences are not typical and do not guarantee similar outcomes.

Worried it costs a fortune to play? It doesn't.

You don't need a big account

A Few Hundred Dollars. Not Hedge Fund Money.

This trips up a lot of people.

You're not buying SpaceX at $135 a share. You're not betting your savings against a $1.77 trillion company.

You're making one simple options trade, and you know your risk before you start.

Most cost a few hundred dollars to enter. The GE winner took about $540. A beginner can place it in minutes. A pro will respect how clean it is.
