Special Situations · The $1.77 Trillion SpaceX IPO
The Man Who Called the Gold Top Just Found Wall Street's $1.77 Trillion SpaceX Trap
He won't name the 4 tickers until Tuesday at 11:30 a.m. ET. Here's why he's on the other side of the biggest IPO in history.
This past January, Garrett Baldwin called the top in gold and silver. Almost to the day.
He told his readers to take profits. One pick he'd recommended was already up nearly 38% in under 40 days. A few days later, the metals dropped.
A year before that, his warning signal went off right before the spring 2025 crash. The news hadn't caught on yet. He had.
That's the thing about Garrett. He spots the top while everyone else is still celebrating.
Today, the biggest IPO in history starts trading. SpaceX. Priced at $135 a share. Worth about $1.77 trillion. The largest deal Wall Street has ever done. It could turn roughly 4,000 people into millionaires.
Every headline says the same thing: get in now.
Garrett is doing the opposite.
So who is he? And why does it pay to listen when he leans the other way?

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 team.
He's an economist and market writer with more than 15 years in the business. He studied at Northwestern, Purdue, Johns Hopkins, and Indiana. His work has run in Business Insider, Forbes, and Investopedia.
Before Option Pit, he ran a live market show. He also spent years studying how money really moves, the kind of work most investors never get to see.
But the schools and the resume aren't the point. How he reads the market is.
Garrett doesn't trade headlines. He watches two things almost no one watches together. First, where the big money is flowing. Second, what company insiders are doing with their own cash.
When both line up, he buys. When they fall apart, he steps aside. He calls it the "1% Pattern."
And it works. Here's the proof.

One Simple Signal. The Turns Nobody Saw Coming.
Garrett runs one signal. He 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.
It flashed red in February 2025, weeks before the spring crash.
It caught the bottom in April 2025, when the market shot up 10% in ten minutes and most people were too scared to move.
And this past January, it pulled him out of gold and silver, right at the top.
Gold via the GLD fund. Garrett raised his "yellow flag" Jan 26 and went "red" Jan 28, right at the peak. Gold has trended lower since, to about $387.
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.
SUBSTANTIATE: the "more than 1,500% in about a week (June 2022)" claim is included per your call. Before publishing, attach the dated trade record or video that substantiates it before publishing. CLEAR: the 38% gold result came from a different newsletter, so confirm it can be cited here.The trade almost everyone is about to get wrong
Wall Street Is Selling You a "Backdoor." It's a Trap.
The easy move is to buy the big names tied to SpaceX. Google. Nvidia. The banks that got in early.
Garrett will tell you why that won't work. SpaceX is a tiny piece of those giant companies. It barely moves them.
So Wall Street is pushing something that sounds smarter. A "backdoor."
The pitch is everywhere. Can't get SpaceX shares? Just buy one of these small funds that already own some.
It sounds clever. It's a trap.
Here's what almost no one gets.
For years, those funds were the only way regular people could own a piece of SpaceX. Since they were the only door in, buyers paid a huge markup to get through it. One of them costs nearly double what it actually holds.
Then today happens. SpaceX starts trading. Now anyone can buy it directly.
So the one reason to pay that markup? Gone.
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 markup, one that only existed because the door was locked, falls back to earth now that the door is wide open.
Garrett has found the four names most exposed when it does.
But he isn't pulling the trigger yet. Here's why.
VERIFY day-of: the "nearly double" premium figure moves daily. Check the morning this runs.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 today's 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.

What is Special Situations?
It Hunts for Moments When the Market Gets It Wrong.
Most newsletters hand you a stock, tell a story, and wish you luck.
Special Situations works differently. It looks for big, scheduled events that push the odds hard in one direction. Then it turns them into simple options trades on names you already know.
Big political moves
Tariffs. Trade fights. A surprise announcement. When words move markets, the options market often shows the move before the news does.
Earnings season
When a company's numbers shock Wall Street, the stock jumps or drops fast. The team is ready for it.
The Fed and big events
Rate decisions, jobs reports, mergers, scandals. Any one of them can hand you a setup.
The SpaceX IPO is exactly this kind of event. A set date. A clear mistake in the market. And a line in the sand where the trade is wrong.
It's the next big one on the calendar. And it's Garrett's first.
But Garrett isn't the only one watching.
The desk
You're Not Following One Guy. You Get the Whole Desk.
The economist behind the "1% Pattern." He follows where the money moves and what insiders buy. This week, he brings his trades to the desk for the first time.
More than 20 years trading on the exchange floor. He's trained traders at Goldman Sachs, JP Morgan, and Susquehanna. When the market's fear gauge spikes, Jim Cramer calls him to explain it on live TV.
He's been on the Chicago options floor since 1991, where he built one of its busiest trading desks.
A former exchange member who ran her own trading group.
He went from trading on the floor to running an options and stock fund worth over $1 billion.
A macro trader with 15 years on the AMEX and CBOE floors and years running his own macro portfolio. His strategies grew past $200 million, with 75% profitable months and no losing years.
Together, the desk has nearly 100 years on the trading floor. They don't chase headlines. They spot the setup early and get in before the move.
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 of them 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.

A Few Hundred Dollars. Not Hedge Fund Money.

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.
