mille gracie for the unbelievable valuable Information you provide to a small retail Investor, as i am. I live in Germany, and sometimes struggle to get access to the ETFs that are discussed in the macro channels. For example, the other day you mentioned a Proshares short S&P ETF, which is not accessable in the EU asfaik. What do you recommend? Get a swiss Broker Account? ;-) Or are there other options?
I’ve been using the fed’s published Svennson model of nominal rates to calculate 1m18m and 3m18m. If anyone is unsure how to calculate those rates, Engstrom and Sharpe provide some clarity in their paper’s appendix A.
Are you planning to publish VAND project as an open source/community project (so that other can also contribute) or would you rather keep it as the properiary/your own tool for macro compass/twitter content creation?. Cheers, Adam
This reminds me a lot of what people like Antti Ilmanen, Meb Faber and the ReSolve Crew are always talking about in interviews and their podcasts/books.
Looking forward to it!! sounds amazing and you have definitely capture the spirit of Applied Macro! Macro without a pragmatic view or trade is worthless! :)
Alf I love your articles and all your work on blockworks and wealthion. I shout your name from the rooftops to anyone who would listen. These new tools you are releasing are a godsend to individual investors like me. Thank you so much for doing what you love to do.
You motioned for suggestions of people to interview in your last vid. I would suggest a youtuber by the name of Maverick of Wallstreet. He's tremendously entertaining and his viewpoints overlap those of you and your crew. I don't think he ever shows his face though. He's still a working fund manager and has mentioned that he's got into trouble before for sharing his opinions.
Good work.......I like the VAMD....I need to understand it, more
Excellent work and looking forward to the position sizing tool. Great writing as well, your communication is outstanding.
