Ray Dalio: We’re Heading Into Very, Very Dark Times! America & The UK’s Decline Is Coming!

Pay attention. (instrumental music plays) Pain plus reflection equals progress. And from that principle, my company became the largest hedge fund in the world.

Managing how much?

$150 billion. But I learned that history of things that never happened in my lifetime before were important things to understand in order to predict the future, and we can get into that if you want.

Please.

So...

Ray Dalio is the legendary billionaire investor... ... who decoded the cycles of human history to predict financial crashes. ... build the world's largest hedge fund... And now to warn us about what lies ahead. Are you optimistic about the future of the UK?

No.

What about the United States?

No.

Why?

Okay. In order to bet on what's going to happen on the global economy, I learned that there's five big forces that create a big cycle that's repeated through history, which lasts about 80 years. The first is the money/debt force. That creates wealth and opportunities gaps, and it's connected to the second force, the internal conflict, where you don't trust the system, causing wars between the left and the right. And it's not easy answers like, "Tax the rich," and we can get into that. But the third is geopolitical force, in other words, international conflict. Then there's acts of nature. And then number five is man's inventiveness, particularly of new technologies. Now, the question is who wins the technology war? Because the winner of that determine how the new world order works.

Is it something to be concerned about?

No (beep) . The question is how you as an individual handle it.

How do I as an individual handle it?

So there's building your financial strength, flexibility, the importance of being open-minded, and how to get more out of the minute, not how to work harder, and I really urge your audience to learn all of this. So first of all...

(instrumental music plays) Ray, I, I want to describe to you who's listening right now, and I... the question I have for you is, what is the most important thing that this persona or person should be thinking about at the highest level right now? So the, the person that's listening is someone who is intent on improving their life. They're, they're really interested in business, potentially starting their own business. They, they care about where they're investing their, their time and energy, and also where they're setting up their home, based on ge- in terms of geography. They are aspiring to accomplish some goal. They're probably between the age of 18 and 50, predominantly, and they are very, very interested in understanding what's happening in a world that feels incredibly scary, fast-paced, and uncertain at the moment. This is a very difficult question, but if anyone... I was gonna ask anyone, it would have to be you. Wh- wh- what, what's one of the first things they should be considering at this moment to safeguard their future, their family, their finances?
