I have, before now, waited for a pen to perform a macro.
Macroeconomics, even with all of our computers and with all of our information - is not an exact science and is incapable of being an exact science.
Microeconomics is about money you don't have, and macroeconomics is about money the government is out of.
I'm not a macroeconomics person.
If trading is like chess, then macro is like three-dimensional chess.
We have usually made our best purchases when apprehensions about some macro event were at a peak. Fear is the foe of the faddist, but the friend of the fundamentalist.
I've always had an interest in geopolitics and macroeconomics.
As for another profession ... I suppose I'd manage a global-macro hedge fund. I love that kind of stuff. Weird, I know, but I find it fascinating.
I think in any country you have macro situations and micro ones.
