(Unique) macro idea generation and (insightful) market thoughts.

Over the last few weeks we’ve been discussing our expectation for increasing action in the market. This week sure did not disappoint. It was a very active trading week and one of the most busy ones in the chat in quite some time. Being a macro focused trader and investor, it’s fun for us when the macro matters. There will be some time in the not too distant future where it doesn’t matter again for a stretch of time, but for now we make the most of the opportunities at hand.

Felix and I caught up for another Forward Guidance episode this week. We covered a lot of ground and did our best to touch on everything going on this week.
