Pal retired at 36 but the break didn't last long and in 2005 he founded Global Macro Investor (GMI), providing information for large hedge funds.
According to GMI’s website, the company is a “highly original, thought-provoking and completely independent research publication, which maintains a very restricted paid membership to avoid diluting its value to members.”
