I sadly paid for a year of the 'entry level' MacroCompass and so far have about the same access as what is public. I am disappointed. The whole thing seems set up to simply get me to pay more for the real info. I was expecting something a bit more useful and actionable.

Hi Jean - the emails for paid subscribers do NOT come from Substack.

You can access them in the Login area of your TMC account (my.themacrocompass.com) or alternatively you receive the full reports via email from alf@themacrocompass.com and not from Substack.

This preview is at best 25% of the full content, and subscribers to the All-Round tier also get many more pieces during the week, an ETF portfolio, tactical trade ideas, weekly videos, 50% off the upcoming courses and much more.

Definitely not what people get for free :)

I agree - I too am a subscriber and unable, under that umbrella, to access any more than has been made public.

Thanks for that but I had already searched the subscriber website for the full review of yesterday's Fed actions and was unable to find anything. Can you please give a direct link to yesterday's new content for subscribers? Many thanks.

Hi Jan,

the free preview above is roughly 25% of the full article.

Subscribers to the All-Round tier also get many more pieces during the week, an ETF portfolio, tactical trade ideas, weekly videos, 50% off the upcoming courses and much more.

Definitely not what people get for free :)

I agree with everyone who says that the information we pay for at the entry level is exactly the same as what is published. As such, I would like to know how I can cancel my monthly fee since the website does not have any information on how to cancel. Thanks

They will not allow you to cancel. This is why they charged you the full amount, up front, 1.5 months in advance of starting the service.

This is also why you can't leave any comment on the paid site. None, Nothing, No contact at all. They do not want other paid subscribers to know how disappointed we all are with the subscription.

It's very disappointing, and not even remotely close to what I was expecting.

As I could not cancel my subscription, I removed my credit card from the account. If they continue to make debts then I will have to work with my bank to get the money back.

How do you cancel your subscription? Is there an option on the site or you just remove payment details? Or do I have e-mail someone?

Animal spirits aside, as long as the Fed gets to the 5-5.25% fed funds rate and more importantly holds policy late into 23, Likely because of base effects starting in the Summer, a severe recession will ensue and then a hard pivot will be required. The treasury market sees it, the equity market does not.

There is a time to ride along with the animal spirits, too risky for me here. I'd rather ride the long duration trade here, shortening the duration appropriately as we go along.

This is how Bear Market traps work. They hook in the FOMO crowd before handing them their head.

Thank you Alf.

Same here, I tried to upgrade to a paid subscription on substack and got nothing in return. I then subscribed to the long term investor tier on his website and there is nothing that isn't on the free substack tier. I feel immensly ripped off. Either I'm stupid and don't see the additional content or I got ripped off

Hi! As clearly specified here:

''This timely, premium article on the Fed meeting is reserved to paid subscribers to the All-Round and Pro tiers of The Macro Compass.''

The remaining part of this piece is for All-Round and Pro subscribers on TheMacroCompass.com/subscribe.

I don't have any paid subscription on Substack.

Premium content is accessible to people who subscribe to the right tier on TheMacroCompass.com

Thanks for replying. It's been established, I'm the idiot that can't read. Haha

Don't be too harsh on yourself :) and thanks for being a subscriber!

I have the same experience and will just cancel my subscription. It's not worth it if you can't even read the content.

Doesn't matter if it's "clearly specified" if the customer experience is bad and you feel ripped off.
