Macro economics are a large wide view of the economy. When zooming out you see a frightening scenario in terms of the fundamentals of the economic system. It's a also a rabbit hole and it's super confusing. Half of what the youtube pundits do is examine technicals and give extreme technical terms to try to explain where money is flowing and going. Some of us are confused by what we could say is cobbly-gook technical talk. Again it's just currencies moving from A, B, C.
Zooming out and viewing the economy is like seeing the Universe in motion slowly. You get the full picture, but on a daily basis things in reality are moving and turning often violently. Also zooming out also gives you a time delay because it is analyzing the past. We try to chart the future, but the internal workings are more like an ocean current. The closer you get you can see the big fish eating the little fish, and often violent waves.
Getting the full picture seems to be amazing but in reality you cannot peg a time frame on anything. Economy ponzi? Wen Collapse? This is why we often look at technical analysis versus fundamentals. It's how many fish we can swallow by mapping out where they are swimming, and where the current is. Sure the moon and the orbit of the planets all have effects on where and where we are going but we often cannot track what is going on below the surface.
So this is why we looks at 'bigger' markets. The news is always talking about the DOW, but in reality the S&P 500 is much bigger. If you want massive money movements go to the bond market and see what happens with rates. The big money often moves (with the help of algorithms) in unison. One big selloff can trigger other bigger selloffs. Here enters the human being who thinks they can create and control markets. So it's up to you where you want to park your money. When zooming out, the universe is moving in unison and in predictable fashion. Once again on an individual level you have to weigh fundamentals and controlled artificial markets. It has become my opinion you need positions in both to generate any kind of safety and 'interest' on your 'money'. So no matter the supression and manipulation, on a correct timeline you will be safe believing in the fundamentals. You just have to be waiting to wait.
