Easy Money Seems like Cure All— Until It’s Not

2025-12-03

by

Easy money is a cure all, until it’s not. It’s hard to know when you have to put on the brakes and when things might pop. Today, the stock market is at its peak, gold is through the roof, and the wealth gap continues to increase. And in terms of what comes next, it looks like we’re going to see a significant easing of monetary policy along with less regulation. I recently sat down with CNBC's Andrew Ross Sorkin to discuss all of this and more....

Giving Tuesday

2025-12-02

by

This year, I’d encourage you to consider a unique kind of holiday gift — a donation your friends and family can give to the charity of their choice. This kind of gift is far more meaningful, and it's simple. Anyone can do it. If you’re interested, check out organizations like TisBest and @donorschooseorg . I think gifts like these are more in keeping with what the holiday season is really about, so I wanted to pass it along. #redefinegifting...

The Most Important Lesson: Humility

2025-12-01

by

In 1979, I was so broke that I had to borrow $4,000 from my Dad to help take care of my family. I had calculated that American banks had lent much more money to foreign countries than they would be able to pay back, and anticipated an imminent debt crisis. But I couldn’t have been more wrong. I didn’t fully understand the impacts of quantitative easing, and so I lost money for myself and I lost money for my clients. Looking back, it was the most...

The True Source of My Motivation

2025-11-21

by

The most important thing is that you have the life that you want to have. So, how you define success is important. There isn’t one path that’s right for everyone. I was lucky in the sense that I fell in love with markets and playing the investment the game, which is what I’ve done for 50 years. I recommend that people think about their own nature and what game they’d love to spend years playing. It’s okay to explore different paths—not everyone...

1929 vs. Now: The Difference is Where the Debt is

2025-11-19

by

Economic bubbles throughout history tend to follow similar patterns, but they are never exactly the same. In 1929 and 2008, there was a lot of debt — but most of it was owned by the private sector. Today, the government sector has a lot of the debt. Still, one man’s debts are another man’s assets. And when the bill comes due and the debt assets aren’t as appealing as the alternatives, some sort of monetization is inevitable. I recently sat down...

If you are worried, then you don’t have to worry.

2025-11-13

by

One of my principles is that if you’re worried, you don’t need to worry — and if you’re not worried, you need to worry. That’s because worrying about what can go wrong will protect you and not worrying about what can go wrong will leave you exposed. I’ve found this to be true in business, and in life.

The Time the United States Ran Out of Money

2025-11-11

by

When I was a young clerk on the floor of the New York Stock Exchange in 1971, the US ran out of money and defaulted on its debts. Now, they didn’t say it that way. But by moving away from the gold standard — the idea that people could exchange paper dollars for gold — money, as we understood it, ended. I expected the stock market to plunge the next day, but when the opening bell rang the market was way up. And it went on to rise nearly 25%. That...

What Happens When a Country Accumulates Too Much Debt?

2025-11-06

by

History shows us that having too much debt during an economic downturn leads to a classic, self-reinforcing cycle where: 1) The empire can no longer borrow the money to repay its debts 2) It prints a lot of new money, which devalues the currency and raises inflation 3) Living standards decline, leading to the rise of political extremism 4) Turbulent economic conditions undermine productivity and there is conflict about how to divide the shrinking...

As an investor, you don’t want to concentrate your bets — you want diversification, so you’re protected in different economic environments. That’s why alternative assets like gold are so valuable in balancing your portfolio. @TheProfGPod

How Ray Dalio Got Hooked on the Markets

2025-11-03

by

My first real job was caddying, and it changed my life. It was the 1960s, and the people I was caddying for were always talking about the stock market. So, I took my caddying money and bought Northeast Airlines because it was the only company I had heard of that was selling for less than $5 a share. Little did I know, but the stock was so cheap because they were about to go broke. But I got lucky and they got acquired, so I tripled my money....

Ray Dalio & Andrew Ross Sorkin on His New Book “1929” and How Debt Drives Every Crash

2025-10-30

by

I sat down with CNBC's Andrew Ross Sorkin to discuss his latest book, 1929: Inside the Greatest Crash in Wall Street History — and How It Shattered a Nation. A lot of what Andrew learned researching this book is analogous to what happened during the 2008 financial crisis, and also to what is happening today. That’s because history moves in cycles — the same cause-effect relationships are at play, and there are important lessons to be learned....

Ray Dalio and Bloomberg’s Francine Lacqua Discuss Life, Debt & Global Crisis

2025-10-29

by

The U.S.'s debts are on the edge of becoming unmanageable to the point where it could default if conditions are not changed. But this problem isn’t a unique one. It has happened many times in history, which is why I believe studying the past is so important. The same cycles repeat over and over again, and there are important lessons we can learn from those experiences. I recently met with Bloomberg @markets ahead of the UN Ocean Conference to...
