Flera framgångsrika förvaltare investerar med utgångspunkt från makroekonomi, men rent mekaniskt är kopplingarna mellan makrofaktorer som order, produktion, inkomster och BNP å ena sidan, och företagens försäljning, vinster och värdering å andra sidan insignifikant och varierande. I detta avsnitt beskriver Syding & Sunström hur man kan bli sin egen makroanalytiker genom konsekventa anteckningar i sin commonplace, samt hur resultatet bör kombineras med bolagsanalys (mikro) och teknisk analys i en ständig trianguleringsdans för att öka träffsäkerheten och tryggheten i sina aktieinvesteringar. ...2017-01-0825 min25 MINUTER#46 - BPT: Hitta din optimala tid på dagen och beskydda den med ditt liv!BPT: Biological Prime Time är ett uttryck för den tid under dagen då du (ofta konsekvent) är som mest kreativ, klartänkt och produktiv.
