For all the Macro guys out there I’d highly recommend checking this book out… I’m about halfway through this book and thought I would see if anyone else has read it. It’s an interview style book with about 10 of the top Global Macro hedge fund players… Pretty informative although the interviews are pre- credit crisis (I would love to see a follow-up) I like how the interviewer digs deep into some of their winning / losing trades and gets to the bottom of how these guys think. Some very interesting reasoning and very thoughtful responses.
Second the recommendation - great book but you’re right it doesnt have the credit-crisis in it as its a bit old…
This really is one of the few books where you get a great sense of how real global macro type investors think and trade. When you get a smart interviewer and a smart subject, you can really have a great conversation. Not every interview is fantastic - I don’t have my copy at home or I’d tell you which ones I thought were the best - but it’s worth getting just for the two or three really good ones. Two thumbs up, highly recommended for anyone interested in global macro type investing.
