About The Daily Shot

The Daily Shot® is a graphical newsletter (samples here) designed for a select group of professionals seeking a brief, unbiased visual overview of global macro currents. We do not provide investment advice or trading recommendations, and nothing in The Daily Shot® should be interpreted as such.

Lev Borodovsky, PhD, began The Daily Shot® as an internal memo at a multi-strategy hedge fund, offering traders and analysts a quick visual overview of key macro trends. This daily memo was later made available to the fund’s clients, most of whom were institutional investors.

In 2014, we expanded the distribution to a wider set of financial professionals across wealth management, trading, risk and portfolio management, corporate finance, research, and regulation. In August 2016, we joined forces with Dow Jones to offer The Daily Shot® to subscribers of the Wall Street Journal.

In 2020, The Daily Shot® became an independent, ad-free publication supported entirely by membership fees. Today, our subscribers include well-known institutional investors, hedge fund managers, traders, corporate treasurers, wealth advisors, economists, academics, and central bankers.

In 2025, stewardship of The Daily Shot® transitioned to TDS Infinity, a small team that shares Lev’s dedication to accuracy, clarity, and unbiased storytelling. With Lev serving as Editor Emeritus, TDS Infinity remains committed to preserving the spirit and quality of The Daily Shot®.
