| History shows us that these conflicts don’t happen independently. They emerge as interconnected parts of a larger pattern — a Big Cycle involving power, economics, and shifting world orders. To understand what’s happening and the implications of the Iran war, you have to see the whole system instead of looking at just one event. I break this down in my latest article, “The Big Thing: We Are in a World War That Isn’t Going to End Anytime Soon,” available on LinkedIn here: https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/big-thing-we-world-war-isnt-going-end-anytime-soon-ray-dalio-sbrqe |

AI Will Impact Every Industry

I’ve always tried to systemize everything I did. I wrote down my criteria and decision rules to help me see the bigger picture and make better decisions.
That’s why I’ve used AI to create a digital twin to help me reach people looking for coaching or mentorship. It’s currently in beta testing — sign up if you want to have a conversation to see what it’s like.
Today’s Environment Doesn’t Change the Fundamental Laws of Success
2026-02-04
Is it harder to start today? 📉
The truth is, the environment has changed. You need more resources for compliance and regulation than I did when I started. But the core principle remains: Money follows talent.
If you have the ideas and can demonstrate the logic behind them, the capital will find you. That’s how I went from playing the markets as a kid to managing an account for the World Bank.
Are you focused on the money, or are you focused on the talent? Let me know in the comments. 👇
The Big Cycle: Reaching the Top
2026-01-26
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.
The Monetary Order Is Breaking Down
2026-01-22
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 stepping back from crossing that red line.

Ray Dalio Reflects on 2025
2026-01-16
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 if you see things the same way.

Ray Dalio’s 30 Year History using Artificial Intelligence for Decision Making
2025-12-10
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 my broader decision-making, as well. (By the way, that investment decision-making is what made Bridgewater so successful.) LLMs have made this process even more seamless and useful.

How Ray Dalio Got Hooked on the Markets
2025-11-03
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.
And just like that, I was hooked.
