Ray Dalio’s 30 Year History using Artificial Intelligence for Decision Making
I’ve been using AI to help my decision-making for over 30 years. It’s a big part of what made Bridgewater successful.
I found that if I wrote down my criteria for making decisions and put them into algorithms, the computer could process far more information far more quickly than I could on my own. Alongside my logic and inspiration, it was a great partnership.
I started doing this in my investment decision-making, but soon incorporated it into...

The Importance of Having a Reserve Currency
When an empire runs out of its own money, it is able to increase the supply of money. However, printing more money causes borrowing to increase creating a financial bubble. I urge you to watch “The Changing World Order” on my YouTube channel to understand how, and what it means for all of us.

“I Didn’t Know The Room Needed Air”: Harvey Schwartz on Mental Health
I’m proud and pleased that Harvey Schwartz, the remarkably successful CEO of @OneCarlyle is talking openly about mental illness in his family because mental illness is pervasive (it’s estimated that 22% of the U.S. population experiences some form of it), is badly misunderstood, and should be addressed openly, like heart disease and cancer are. Here is a brief clip from Harvey's recent interview with Wilfred Frost on the @TheMasterInvestorPodcast...

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