One thing I like about macro investing is the scope. While financial analysts and their respective crypto degens counterparts are looking at balance sheets, earnings statements, Solidity code and social media sentiment, macro strategists get to think about the consequences of exogenous things. Put another way, while the analysts examine the forest tree by tree, macro investors sit on a hill, surveying the whole valley and considering which parts of the forest will be nourished or threatened by rainfall, forest fires, changes in land use and other factors outside of the idiosyncrasies of the micro analysis.

Tonight, at sunset, the Jewish New Year will begin. Rosh Hashanah is a two-day celebration for Jewish communities in Canada and around the world. This marks the beginning of the High Holidays, ending in Yom Kippur. On this occasion, Jewish families and friends come together to share a meal and wish each other a year full of promise. At the centre of the table, the sweet taste of apples dipped in honey symbolizes the hope for a mild and pleasant new year. During Rosh Hashanah, people also listen to the shofar, an ancient wind instrument.
