The idea is to do as much research as you can just reading and thinking about anything in the world before reaching out to your network.”….The key to thriving in global macro? Plenty of smarts for starters. And “humility and flexibility,” Drobny says. “You have to be flexible enough to cut your positions when what you firmly believe in is not working for you.” This year, global macro managers did great in the January-April period, and didn’t do great in May and June, when equities and emerging markets took a big hit…..even for sophisticated players in the global-macro game, it sometimes pays to just sit on the sidelines.” - (Barron’s)
