Alpha Generation

My trading strategy is macro. I will be trading stocks, commodities, currencies, bonds both going long and short. Holding period can vary from months for stocks, indexes to weeks in commodities, to days in currencies. I make decisions based on top-down analysis, geopolitical factors, countries' economic data down to industries, individual stocks. I build a thesis on the global economy, politics and take positions on that thesis. I adjust the portfolio by getting out or adding more as the time passes. I use a number of sources, all the way to Goldman Sachs, JP Morgan research portals, Bloomberg terminal, Factset, Morningstar and many more. I basically read a lot and move along.
