I value LG’s no-nonsense approach to the big picture events that affect my life and portfolio. Those weekly Tree Rings give me a lot to chew on over the following week.
Frankie RichardsTree Rings Subscriber
Tree Rings has an honest analysis and actionable advice in a concise format that would take me hours or days to source on my own.
William RodewaldTree Rings Subscriber
The key points of the week are easily digestible and now the audio summary provides another alternative to consume the content. Tree Rings is also my main source of financial news from a macro perspective.
Kyle ZimmermannTree Rings Subscriber
When I don't have time to keep up with all corners of the financial markets, I trust my Tree Rings report on a weekly basis to bring me the key macro insights I need to be informed.

Frederick CharetteTree Rings Subscriber
Because of Tree Rings I sleep better at night thinking I have a clue what the markets will probably do.
Jeff ScottTree Rings Subscriber
Tree Rings synthesises online data and information that is too time consuming for me to do myself.
Tim DonohueTree Rings Subscriber
Tree Rings gives the "really really" interpretation of the major (and not-so-major) headlines of the day.
It's also extraordinarily valuable to see Luke's encyclopedic brain make connections between today's events and books/articles/events from decades ago.
Dan VuTree Rings Subscriber
Tree Rings is one of the highlights of my week. It gives me the ability to understand overall market vectors and ignore the day to day gyrations.
Chuck PerryTree Rings Subscriber
Tree Rings gives me a condensed and succinct summary of what is happening in the global macro space. I find it a fascinating read. I do not have time to go read and uncover the interesting and pertinent stories in the media, so I love this service.
Robert Macdonald SmithTree Rings Subscriber
Tree Rings helps me understand the current macro economic environment from a well researched source that explores many different perspectives and offers insights many mainstream thinkers, who are frequently wrong, miss.
Jeremy BlackburnTree Rings Subscriber
Tree Rings quickly became my favorite piece of financial/economic journalism once subscribed. The topics highlighted in each edition largely ignore headline economic commentary, focusing instead on insights flying below the radar. (1/2)
Chad KoepkeTree Rings Subscriber
The "let us explain in plain English" commentary is so great as the insights become consumable for all people. Moreover, the actionable items/takeaways from the articles are the cherry on top, allowing investors to do their own due diligence with a general direction of where to head. (2/2)
Chad KoepkeTree Rings Subscriber
Tree Ring's concise macro analysis on a weekly basis is unparalleled in the industry. Tying the big picture into the political landscape is very helpful.
Christopher OriTree Rings Subscriber
Tree Rings helps me see the story behind macroeconomic, financial, and geopolitical influences on financial assets from a more informed perspective than I get from mainstream media. Enjoy the weekly format of top 10 items with short summary of how certain asset classes and sectors are expected to be affected.
Steven KodaTree Rings Subscriber
Luke is a step ahead. His work is indispensable in helping me grasp the big picture - it's an important part of my practice. It's the essential service of its kind.
James MalmstromTree Rings Subscriber
Tree Rings helps me understand the big mechanics of global macro and how I should/can position accordingly. It’s my favorite Friday night reading. Best way to begin the weekend. Makes me less nervous about noise of the markets.
Claus BoghTree Rings Subscriber
As a relatively new subscriber, I feel by reading Tree Rings I have for the first time in my life the ability to maintain an actionable understanding of the plumbing of the global financial system. It's like an early warning defense system for my portfolio in this increasingly unstable financial system.
Timothy Jackson BeanTree Rings Subscriber
Luke's Macro perspective gives mid to long term market direction which provides confidence in taking and maintaining asset allocations and positions.
Riki SolomonTree Rings Subscriber
Nice to be able to ignore most of the news during the week and get a summary at the end of the week for what's happening. Tree Rings weekly reports talk about the few ideas that I need to know about and I can happily ignore the other day to day news of markets, politics and clickbaity news that I wouldn't otherwise know what to do with.
Marc AdamTree Rings Subscriber
Tree Rings helps me to understand the context in which today's markets operate and gives me confidence in my positioning. I love how I can just focus on my life and obligations, and read your Tree Rings report every Saturday morning, using it as a low pass filter on the turbulent day-to-day market news. In short, I learn how the world works and make money by learning so, what is there not to love about that?
Gerben PeetersTree Rings Subscriber
Tree Rings is essential weekly reading, exhibiting carefully selected and deeply reasoned interpretations that are always way ahead of the curve, resulting in a very confident and consistent approach to structuring my own modest investment portfolio. It is both deeply reassuring and protects the reader from all the emotional narrative swings peddled elsewhere.
Robert PocockTree Rings Subscriber
I love your approach to understanding the macro environment. Especially how you marry the geopolitics to the financial world. That is missing in today's "news". Its a delicate balance to stay non biased, yet acknowledge the realities of politics in the markets. Thank you for what you do.
