Merry Christmas and a happy new year to all!

This year Macronomics is celebrating its fourth year of existence. The blog started early December 2009.

On that special occasion, we would like to extend our thanks for the support of many and to our growing number of our readers (thanks for your praise in 2013). 

We would also like to thanks our good friends from Rcube Global Macro Asset Management for their numerous qualitative and quantitative contributions throughout 2013.

We also would like to extend our thanks to our good cross-asset friend for providing us with his great insights on the subject of volatility and his regular comments, providing us with interesting exchanges of ideas during the course of 2013. We are looking forward to hearing more of him in 2014 with a potential for more volatility to come in 2014 in that respect.

While as of late we haven't been posting, it was due to the necessity of taking a necessary "sunshine break".

We generally avoid making advertising, but, we will make an exception. For our readers who enjoy windsurfing / surfing and kyte surfing, here is the link to the location of our recent "board meeting" which explains our recent lack of posting: Windy Reef - St Martin.

Jean-Sebastien Lavocat, a great windsurfer and surfer, is running the place. Throughout the years his club has generated numerous young surfing champions and continues to do so. On top of being a great location for windsurfing and surfing, food in St Martin, in particular at Grand Case, is top notch. It is also hard to find another place in the world where 1$ = 1€. So, go check it out if you want to ride other waves than market waves...

2013 saw our arrival on Twitter, so don't hesitate to add us and to comment on our posts in 2014.

Thank you all for following us and wishing you all a happy new year in advance.

Stay tuned in 2014 for more of our ramblings!
