Ray Dalio on Gold as a Reserve Currency

2026-01-23

by

We need to talk about money — what it is, how it works, and what its value is. When it comes to gold, some people view it as a commodity to speculate on. But it’s so much more than that. It’s the second largest reserve currency in the world. And it’s an important hedge against risks to fiat currencies.

The Monetary Order Is Breaking Down

2026-01-22

by

The changing monetary order and the changing geopolitical order clearly came together at Davos and especially at the moment of President Trump's speech. President Trump's threats to impose trade war punishments and to use military war were red lines for European leaders that would have led them to respond with capital war actions on purchases of US assets, especially debt assets, and trade war tariff retaliation. President Trump's speech was a...

2026-01-21

by

It's now happening. The existing fiat monetary order, the domestic political order, and the international geopolitical order are all breaking down, so we are at the brink of wars. It all is happening because of the Big Cycle that is driven by the five big forces I've described repeatedly and laid out in detail in my book and Youtube video titled Principles for Dealing with The Changing World Order.

Ray Dalio Reflects on 2025

2026-01-16

by

I think it’s safe to say that 2025 was a very interesting year. And I think I see it very differently than most. You probably saw a lot of headlines about AI and tech stocks. While that was a big story, I don’t think it was the most important thing. The big story in the investment world was the depreciation of the value of fiat money and how that impacted the price of gold. That’s how 2025 looked through my eyes, at least. I’m curious to hear...

How I’m Training My Digital Twin

2026-01-12

by

A lot of you have asked, how am I training my digital twin? The AI version of me is being fed a lot of data — my principles, books, interviews, and more. That way, it can think through things on its own, and respond the way I would likely respond. I’m also going through a manual process of checking the answers it’s giving to see if it’s what I would actually say. I’m thankful to have great people helping me in that process, as it requires a lot...

Ray Dalio Explains Debt Cycles

2026-01-08

by

So much of our current political and economic climate can be explained by debt cycles— and how those cycles build on each other over time. I explain why in my new book, How Countries Go Broke. But if you’d like more context on how all of these pieces come together, I recommend you watch my 30-minute explainer “How the Economic Machine Works” on YouTube. You can watch the full video here: &t=1444s #principles #howcountriesgobroke #economics...

Embrace the Mechanics of Reality

2026-01-07

by

What has always mattered most to me is getting as close to the truth as possible. You can’t make good decisions without good facts, and you can’t get good facts without being radically open-minded and willing to look at reality as it really is—not as you wish it to be. In this conversation, I talk about why grounding your thinking in evidence, clear principles, and honest reflection is the foundation for meaningful work and meaningful...

Ray Dalio’s Formula for Business Leadership

2026-01-06

by

Some businesses run like autocracies, and some run like democracies. In my experience, neither approach is particularly effective. That’s because autocratic leaders think they have all the answers, but in reality don’t know enough. And democratic leaders who crowdsource decision-making will filter in a lot of bad ideas. That dilemma led to me creating an idea meritocracy at Bridgewater, where we used analytics to better understand where people...

Ray Dalio on the Importance of Hiring Well

2025-12-18

Hiring isn't about guesswork — it’s about data. If you know what people are like, you know what you can expect from them. I systematized this process to help match the right people to the right jobs. And remember, the evaluation process never stops. @TheDiaryOfACEO

Challenges with the Development of Digital Ray

2025-12-15

by

Developing an AI version of myself wasn't easy. I’m very lucky because I wrote down thousands of principles that outline my thinking and values, so there’s a lot of content to use for training. But it’s also important to curate it well. I spend hours each day looking at the answers it’s giving and asking myself it that’s what I would say, in the way I would say it. Through that work, the technology gets better and better over time. If you want...

1,000 meters below sea level, there’s an entire world that’s never been explored. There’s so much going on in our ocean’s — species we haven’t discovered, behavior we’ve never seen. That’s why I’m so passionate about ocean research, and why I decided to build @OceanX . I’m so excited that our team at gets to play a part in bringing it to all of you.

Ray Dalio’s 30 Year History using Artificial Intelligence for Decision Making

2025-12-10

by

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

by

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 Didn’t Know The Room Needed Air”: Harvey Schwartz on Mental Health

2025-12-05

by

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...
