Thank you for all your research and guidance. As a result of your help, I am making more money with less effort.


I wait for my 42macro updates all week. Thanks for helping me navigate this cycle with a lot less stress @DariusDale42


Your investing products are spot on and I’m very happy to be a subscriber of your services! Thanks again!!


It’s hard for the retail investor to understand the depth of value they get with 42 macro.


I’d say you’ve been spot on the last 2 years, prolly longer but thats when I found you.


You been spot on the last year +. Even as I shook my head n disagreement. Those models ain’t no joke!


Really appreciate what you’re doing, your process is great and it’s helped us keep our clients properly risk managed.


Darius, I am so glad [you started] 42 Macro. Becoming an early subscriber has been one of the best financial decisions of my life. Your work keeps improving and so do my results. Thanks again!


I completely agree with the sentiment here-42Macro has been a game-changer for me, especially in managing risk in Bitcoin and its proxies (like MSTR and miners). Their KISS framework and Dr. MO. have been key in helping me stay exposed during bullish regimes while avoiding the pain of major drawdowns. It’s the best tool I’ve found for navigating Bitcoin’s volatility with discipline.

It has always been about striking the right balance between HODLing and rotating out during macro headwinds. 42M’s clarity on regime shifts has made this process far more systematic and less emotional. While I respect Dr. Mo’s signals, I’ll admit I sometimes lean on Darius’s discretionary calls for shorter-term moves, though I know this can be risky (greed is real!).
I’ve subscribed to other services like Real Vision or Fundstrat, 42M is simply better and more useful when integrating macro insights with top-notch risk management. Those platforms are great for trade ideas, but they don’t help you avoid giving all your gains back in a bear market. I’ve ultimately canceled all other services in favor for just diving deep into 42M.

After three years with 42M, I can confidently say it’s been one of the best investments I’ve ever made-not just for my portfolio but for the mental discipline l’ve gained. If you’re serious about not just riding hype but playing the long game, this is the place!


@DariusDale42 Your content is awesome. You are responsible for me making a couple years salary in a couple of months. I owe you.


RV and Roaul changed my life, now im trying to not give it all back. Thats why i joined 42 Macro!


If anyone was wondering why I stopped posting about market stuff, I A/B tested trading my own book against following @42Macro model portfolio for 3 years.

@42macroD port crushed my personal book.

So I got humble, shut up, and followed what worked
No affiliation, but it works. I spend 95% less time thinking about markets now, ignore all tweets and podcasts about the market, and get much better returns

Find the signal. Delete the noise.


God bless you brother. My portfolio been up only since subscribing to 42Macro!


Thank you @DariusDale42. As someone who has tried, with good success, to responsibly invest in BTC and BTC equity proxies this year, I can’t tell you how helpful 42 Macro’s Dr. Mo has been for me. So much appreciated.


Been a member for 4 months now…and very impressed with your process which will definitely assist our Family Office manage risk going forward.


I love the idea of making different fund buckets and laddering different risk levels for each bucket. I haven’t subscribed to any other investment strategies before so it’s also great to hear you have had more experience out there and that KISS is an outstanding choice. That makes a new subscriber feel good about her choice to join 🙂


Just wanted to say thank you. Your democratization of finance and education shared with this community has directly benefited myself, my family, my friends and coworkers. Been following for years and been worth every cent and minute.
I’m only 32, have a long ways til retirement but I’ll be following as long as your at the helm.


Absolutely worth every penny of the investment!


I am new to the service, and I recently completed studying your MACRO CLASS. Phenomenal presentation that opened my eyes to how little I knew about applying MACRO to trading and investing.


Continually Impressed
Darius, This weeks ATH was great. I have been continuously impressed with the updates and continued improvements in Macro42 research. From the initial liquidity report that has now been copied by everyone else to lead/lag indicators to Refinancing air pockets and of course Dr, MO your research has been clear and especially data backed

The reporting as you have said is wall street quality and available for main street. The presentations are not some dumbed down version of where will the S&P or Bitcoin be next week but instead intelligent discussions of weighted probabilities.
Keep it up.


Out of the 4 services I subscribe to, to inform/confirm/disconfirm my work undoubtedly I put the most weight in 42. Thank you for all you do. Your community appreciates you immensely!


Can confirm @42Macro and Dr. Mo have a lock on BTC when it comes to being properly allocated or sidelined. #layup


Darius is the best in the business. For the retail investor, at least, I challenge you to find anyone with a better a track record, let alone at the price point he offers. Time will tell whether this call was correct or not. Regardless, skipper’s long-term track record speaks for itself and over time demonstrates its superior results.


However despite what I believe, I have resolved to use the market regime, VAMS and liquidity from 42M to provide confidence for when to be long, and when to deploy funds elsewhere while I wait.


Ditto to [the previous] comments! Thank you for doing a great job for us! I come from nothing and feel so incredibly blessed to be able to tag along on your shirttail and stay on the right side of risk all for such an incredible price! I am 100% confident that I am in the right place to preserve and grow what I’ve been able to put together. Thank you!


I’ve been asleep at the wheel for 35 years. just trying to keep the pot of gold in place prior to retirement next year. I appreciate any help to limit the downside… finding this service was a gift from God.


I’m a “dumb money” retail investor subscribed to 42 Macro. Over the past 2 years, my subscription helped me save a lot of heartaches. I am able to accelerate my retirement plan.

You should subscribe and see the result for yourself over the course of the next year of time.


Just wanted to say hi as a new subscriber and thank you for making all this information available at an affordable price. I’m enjoying the Macro course and the sense that I have access to some steady leadership in this one area as the world changes. If you track these things for marketing, I joined after hearing you on the Macro Voices podcast and being really impressed.


I can’t say enough positive things about how Dr. Mo keeps us accurately positioned in the correct regime trades.


Frankly, Darius, the top-tier Macro Strategist Pro is a bargain in terms of value. Trying to piece together the different ongoing elements of macro on your own is a Herculean task, and even if we managed to do so, it would be a poor cousin of 42Macro. Plus, we’d still miss out on your fundamental analysis and coaching. The relief I get from not having to follow 1,000+ signals and being able to outsource this to a trusted partner is worth the price of admission alone.

I’ve sampled, subscribed, and unsubscribed to many alternatives, and 42Macro stands tall in the crowd. Whether it’s the dispassionate execution of a repeatable strategy, evolving models that incorporate new data, actionable insights, the separation between narrative and signal, intellectual integrity, or active engagement and coaching with your community, it all sets you apart.

This isn’t false flattery—kudos to you and the team, Darius. You are sincerely executing your mission to democratize institutional-grade finance for those who wish to see the forest through the trees, and I’m happy to pay a very reasonable fee to do so.

I am seriously considering the Pro-to-Pro service tier if some planets align on my end, but in the meantime, I remain a very happy subscriber regardless.


First off, thank you for democratizing your incredible research for retail investors! It’s truly a blessing for investors like me who want to take control of retiring on time and comfortably. KISS is exactly the quantitative risk management system I was searching for to stay calm and remain on the right side of market risk during these wild Fourth Turning times!


He’s been on point for years with his calls. Always grateful for the info he’s provided 🙏


I’ve been dragging my feet on getting a subscription for a couple years but regularly listening to you with Adam Taggart amongst others. I recently came onboard and really appreciate all the real time guidance and content. This is huge for a middle aged dad raising a family and trying to navigate this market. Thanks Darius!


DD. Your research has completely revolutionized my process. Super grateful. Have a good week sir!


KISS is a great guide for positioning properly. Without it I would be so blind. THANK YOU


Keep up the fantastic work and improvements Darius!


Heartfelt Thanks
Dear Skipper. I honestly don’t know how I can thank you for the dramatic improvement you, your team, and your service have made in my life.

I am very fortunate to have had a number of successful exits from technology startups over the years, beginning in February of 2000, just days before the .com crash began to accelerate. I thought tech startups were hard work… until I started focusing the majority of my time and energy on managing the assets I had accumulated via my own family office.

Before I discovered your service, I fired my investment advisers who were doing a very poor job at managing my accounts. I was subscribed to no less than a dozen services… a few macro, a few general market, a few focused on specific factors, and a few on specific segments like REITS. In addition to WSJ, Reuters, Marketwatch, etc. plus the free podcasts and youtubers.

I was retired and spending over 50 hours a week trying to keep up and develop a view that would allow me to effectively preserve and grow my net worth for the benefit of my family. All that has changed with 42 macro. Your service has given me my time back. I spend only a few hours a week and the results speak for themselves. Huge thanks to you and your team.

Everything changed with 42 Macro. Your service has given me my time back. Now, I spend just a few hours a week, and the results speak for themselves. Huge thanks to you and your team!


This is my first post so I feel I have to add that I’m very grateful to have access to DD’s great work and all the insightful and informative posts in the 42 Macro community!


Signed up with him after your last interview. The guy is spot on, giving it to you straight up, no bearporn newsletter crap! Institutional level research at retail prices!


Thanks for everything you do. This is definitely the best product I’ve seen.


I joined just 1.5 months ago and am very happy to be part of the community. Having access to your research material helps a lot. Thanks.


That was the best ATH I’ve seen since l’ve been a subscriber. Period. Almost a MSR quality vid that ATH subs got for free this week. In today’s financial landscape, shedding the traditional dogma that bonds are a must-have in every portfolio is what separates the top tier firms from the rest of the pack.
The move speaks to DD’s expertise and discipline. A must watch.


KISS helps us exit the market to protect against significant drawdowns.

Many retail investors, without a system like 42Macro, tend to exit at or near the bottom. ‘We’ lick our wounds until the next cycle peak, at that point, we experience FOMO, buy back in, and end up repeating the cycle.
Following KISS (or Dr Mo) will protect us from our irrational selves.


Best product on the market. Best value for the price. I’ve been in the business for 35 years and can only wish I had this for the first 30. Darius is First Team All-Pro.


Darius has been on the right side of market risk since the inception of his firm.


I will continue to be an extremely satisfied 42Macro client. As a retail investor, there is no better service I have found that keeps me on the right side of market risk while maximizing upside capture. The results speak for themselves. I prefer results. Portfolio up 17.5% YTD. Thanks 42 Macro!!!


I will say I appreciate your willingness to try and change because your real strength is to be constantly looking to evolve and improve your process’s. Oh, other great thing is the smile. Keep that.


I thoroughly enjoy your ATH updates each week. Gives me great confidence in my positions in the market so I sleep soundly while ‘risking’ the kids inheritance.


@DariusDale42 has been bullish for a while now he has called this market almost perfectly during these tricky times


Love the work you do for all of us subscribers.


@DariuDale42 is the man. A cut above most macro analysts.


Wisdom in every word @DariusDale42 says.
Over 2years subscription. Best decision ever 🙌🏼


I had enjoyed your visits to Thoughtful Money and have been enjoying my subscription the last few months, thank you for all the great insights! I am excited to see your preso tomorrow on his conference.


KISS and Dr. Mo have been game-changers for me in my investment process. I truly appreciate every issue of ATH and your insights in interpreting the mountain of financial and market data each day.


As a retail investor, I had no system or even an understanding of what to look for when entering or exiting positions. That led to me sitting on the sidelines for a long time, waiting to buy the dip (OUCH!). With 42Macro, I’ve been learning to remove my emotions and use the signals. It’s not perfect, but it’s far better than what I was doing. I’ve learned a lot about investing since I joined and am really grateful to have access to this research and its simple-to-implement system!


Let me tell you how appreciative I am of you and the 42 Macro service. You’ve done an incredible job keeping me (and others) on the right track. In my opinion, you provide the best value-for-money service out there. I can’t thank you enough! 🙏


I still read some of the free bear porn, I just read it through your lens now! You’ve done an exceptional job of splitting signal from noise, rules-based from emotion-driven. Priceless for a retail investor.


[Darius], thank you so much! That was incredibly helpful, and I always appreciate the insights into the methods and strategies used by institutional investors.


I feel quite unsophisticated by executing KISS signals immediately when I receive them in my mailbox, but there are some valid reasons for doing so:

– It saves me time, because I don’t have to follow daily market moves – I can focus on other activities, like my job and family

– KISS is already a market timing strategy, so adding another market timing layer on top of it seems redundant

– I have a bearish bias, which often goes against my investment goals, e.g. I tend to postpone opening positions for too long

– I’m completely satisfied with the return profile of KISS, so I see no need to optimize it further

– The portfolio size is still small enough to make it possible to execute those trades immediately


I made the decision that 42 Macro is the only macro investment service that I need to subscribe to. It is transparent, thorough, rigorous, and much more correct than wrong in its recommended actions.


Darius Dale has never steered me wrong over the past few years.


Thanks for all the amazing content you’re putting out! Watching the Macro Masterclass now and loving it.


I took a huge bet on the GBTC arbitrage trade and my portfolio was up 200%. I had a system in place (basic trend following using SMA crossovers) but I let the noise of X (Twitter) influence my decisions and started making emotional trades with all those gains. I gave back 25% of my portfolio and then said enough is enough. Thats about the time that I learned more about 42 Macro’s KISS portfolio model and realized it’s exactly what I need. And the few times I strayed from it, I paid the price. I know it won’t hit all the time, but hitting most of the time is more then good enough!!! And my stress level is much lower now too!!


Yes, I’m with you. I did this yesterday with one of my accounts. Still pretty spread out in my 401K and my IRA but I mostly stress about my “play” account which has become substantial over the years and “playing” is no longer fun. I’m following the process and will see how it goes. Thankful for what I’m learning and some peace of mind. Good luck!


After joining and studying all of Skipper’s research I realized that I had WAY too much risk-on for my stage of life (5-10 years from retirement). Most of what I sold yesterday is up today, but reducing volatility (ie. stress) is worth it to me.

Good luck everyone.


Glad to hear that there are people in the same boat as me. I stay humble that my intuitions can be wildly wrong and although I see recommendations by Darius as pure guidelines, I am happy to be here to hear his advice and help me make decisions for the long term 🙂 GL to all of us!


@Darius Dale Thank you for the response. Your research has been second to none and immensely valuable to me considering how poorly I was doing prior to subscribing. I noted “very short time horizon” to highlight that market volatility can result in some temporary annoyance and emotion but that we are ultimately here for long term success. I also closed both of those positions with profit, so as far as I’m concerned, if I’m not losing money, I’m winning.


I appreciate you analysis and I believe that you have built the best mouse trap out there, I’m very happy with the service you provide.


Many thanks for the thorough answer, I really appreciate it. I am absolutely positively stunned at how much data and work you put in these reports. Basically your videos have convinced me to subscribe when I saw your deep dive into the markets. Invaluable!

Thanks for highlighting the differences for me, they totally make sense. I feel I need some time until I become familiar with your publications – so much fantastic data points!

Thanks for all your guidance and time,


“I view you [and your team] as a guiding light leading the way through the fog. You tell us when it’s high tide and low tide and as is tradition – high tide raises all ships.

Sometimes I feel like a little tugboat floating in the wake of big ships and get the emotional urge to take drastic action, but you continue to remind me to stay the course and it may sound repetitive to your industrial investors but I need the reminder as a early 30s retail investor.

It’s “perfect practice makes perfect” and I truly value the steadfast and consistent nature of your rhetoric. Thanks for all you [and your team] does here and I hope to become more like you as I move from my mid career into my initial senior years.”


Thank you, Darius! KISS & Dr. Mo predicted this whole week, gotta give it to you! Bonds up, almost all else down. Had anyone read Dr. Mo (discretionary model) accurately, it was almost 100% possible to hedge today (this whole week). This is absolute institutional work; thank you, guys! Onward and upward!


Waiting for when i get the ATH or intra week update saying, BUY IT ALL..LOL..Thanks skipper. All calls have been great but BTC one especially have saved a lot of mental capital lately with the amount of fluctuations we’ve seen from 55k to 65k and now down to 53k again. Can’t wait for the next signal…


You are one of the most helpful, detailed, data driven voices in the space. Thanks for sharing your thoughts.


[Darius], you provide us with such great analytical insight and perspective, while encouraging us to learn & understand how this massive market machine works !!! Thank you 🙏 for these great clips !


I made so much money following @DariusDale42 over the past two years.

As much as I love to take credit for my gains, I owe it to this man for being spot on the market since I found him in 2022.


Hard to anoint a single “winner” among all my guests, so I’ll avoid doing that. That Said,  @DariusDale42 has had an impressive track record of market calls over the past year.

Darius – you did a great job of calling the major market trends this year Your victory lap is well-deserved!


Darius continues to be one of the few strictly objective, data-driven, agenda-free guys out there.


I have no relation to 42Macro other than being a customer. But if you’re into macroeconomics or trying to time up entry/exit (especially with BTC/crypto), I would recommend Darius and 42 Macro. Darius continues to deliver and is on point.


This has been one of the toughest cycles to navigate and 42 Macro has been leading that way in informed asset positioning. I’ve been watching your team closely for the last 2 years; I’m super impressed, sir.


I must say, after just a short few days, I couldn’t be more happier to be a 42 Macro member. I have been a part of other paid platforms, and IMO this is the best, and exactly what I have been looking for. I have been a fan of Darius from his days on RV and am so glad I pulled the trigger and joined. For me, the weekly “Around the horn” is exactly what I need. After making some mistakes lately with my portfolio, being able to sit down every Friday, get updated on all the incredible info that Darius provides, and then adjust positions accordingly fits my lifestyle and personality very well. Combined with KISS and Dr. Mo, I feel like I finally have a professional investor looking over my shoulder. LOVE THIS. Anyways. Just wanted to say how glad I am to be a member and how much more at ease I am when it comes to my portfolio. Thanks Darius!!!


First time I am at ease thank you skipper and to your team!

This is the first time I am actually at ease going into a correction. The model is clear and easy to follow (I actually have a plan other than hold on for dear life). The research is plentiful and makes sense, as stated in the morning minute not every call will be correctly timed, but 9 times out of 10 so far everything has been on the money. Ill take those odds any day of the week. This system has proven it self time and time again and has given me the confidence to ride it out.


Getting ugly out there. However, we find Dr Mo on the right side of the market…again. Cheers to you Big D!


Finally joined!
After making a mistake Friday and not de-risking my BITB/crypto position fully, and seeing that Macro42 members got a full risk off signal Friday, I realized I can’t do this alone. I need someone to look out for me and I choose Darius! I need a better system and i feel at ease now that I signed up for 42 macro. Lets go!!


From now on, Darius should be referred to as the patron saint of macro investing and crypto trading. His crypto exit calls are always on the money. Ignore him at your peril.


BTC is Cratering and…KISS is keeping us out of trouble!!!


Thank you for your input, I love the idea of making different fund buckets and laddering different risk levels for each bucket. I haven’t subscribed
to any other investment strategies before so it’s also great to hear you have had more experience out there and that KISS is an outstanding choice. That makes a new subscriber feel good about her choice to join 🙂


Thanks so much for the thoughtful response. Exactly what I wanted to hear – a deeply data dependent analysis!


FWIW Skipper, I thought I was getting a ton of value from my $200US before (especially with the GBP/USD exchange rate as it is😉) , and so I’m very grateful for your efforts and looking forward to seeing (yielding) even better results. I think it was Carl Jung who said that a tree can only grow to heaven if its roots reach down to hell. I could be reading that one wrong, but to me it says the best turn something negative into something positive, and I would say you are the epitome of that. Onwards and upwards good Sir.


Hi Darius, The innovation in the VAMS sounds great. Regarding the “old” backtests, I understood the approach of avoiding large drawdowns which could create damaging financial and emotional problems. The minor opportunity cost was worth that avoidance. But the fact you displayed a backtest showing this minor opportunity cost gave me confidence in the integrity of your data. You did not cherry pick dates or other data, say like a mutual fund might, to exaggerate your results. Trusting the integrity of your manager in the financial world is no small thing while at the same time understanding that perfection in picking tops and bottoms is impossible.


“… you need to be a client of 42 Macro.”” I sincerely appreciate the 42Macro nowcasting and risk management process. I have previously struggled to infuse trend following into a portfolio with sufficient size to be meaningful, without the carry / bleed being too painful to bear. The 42Macro process is an elegant and ingenious solution & I do believe this is a better mousetrap.


I appreciate you breaking that down for me. I’m here to learn, so having my questions answered is already worth the admission.


[Darius] is by far the economist for the people and one of the nicest people I’ve met with the best work ethic I’ve ever seen!


Love Darius! He is a gem..


@42Macro is the real deal. I became a subscriber back in the fall of 2022, about halfway into a very intentional learning journey that started during the depths of the bear market after getting blown up in my first crypto cycle.


I recommend @DariusDale42. He does an excellent job of crunching all the macro data and synthesizing it into a coherent picture of the macroeconomy. His predictions have been excellent.


The recent ATH was fantastic. You are constantly one upping yourself, very impressive. I know from experience to not miss a minute of the presentation because you are prone to drop great knowledge nuggets throughout at any moment.


Have to admit I wasn’t sure what to expect from this community section in the early days but it has been full of insightful questions from members and your participation has been amazing.


Firstly, I just wanted to thank you for all the value you provide. I’ve been an ATH subscriber for a year now, and I’ve learned more from your weekly presentations than I did in three years studying finance at university. Honestly, subscribing to 42Macro has been the best investment I’ve ever made, especially since I was a bear porn victim, constantly losing money until your guidance changed my perspective.

You’ve inspired me to develop my own models and systematize my investment strategy as much as possible. Currently, I use my own trend-following strategies in conjunction with KISS, which is working incredibly well.


Being able to control your emotions w.r.t. portfolio adjustments is paramount and imo is one of the most difficult things to master for the average retail investor. Glad to see KISS working as intended.


I am blown away by the depth and gravity of the analysis of the Fed decisions in this week’s ‘Around The Horn’ report. Congratulations, and keep up the great work!

I will continue silencing the FinTwit noise on my end and tuning in to your insights.


Thanks for the thoughtful reply Darius – for those like me who have a tendency to overthink and hypothesise large amounts of as yet unrealised outcomes, it is always a good reminder to KISS! It’s a useful framing you mention to think of the index beta as the baseline I should be achieving reliably before I concern myself with anything more fancy – and am very glad indeed that 42Macro is providing this through the KISS portfolio!


“Darius — you did a great job of calling the major market trends this year

Your victory lap is well-deserved!”


Having had many subscriptions over many years, I can vouch that @42macro is the best subscription deal by far and the best macro research and process. What makes it the best is that @DariusDale42
continues to improve his models and process.


This man’s macro work is probably the best I’ve seen. Hands down. Thanks for sharing.


Did this talk today with Darius Dale. Many know my disdain for “macro” analysts, but quite frankly this probly the smartest guy Ive met on Wall Street. Very worth checking him out:


Your work and approach are exceptional, brother. Real recognizes real. 🤝


Darius impresses me more and more every time. Phenomenal mind.


There are few people in this industry that I trust and you two are on the top of the list. Just so you know, I was a RIA for 36 years.


I have been listening to @42MacroAware since he was with the firm that won’t be named. He was obviously the smartest person in the room when it came to data analysis. I have unsubscribed to many other macro services since subscribing to @42MacroWeather because it is all I need.


@42macroDDale has helped my investment portfolio tremendously over the last couple of years. 💪🏾
