Clay Finck studies the work of Ray Dalio and shares his biggest takeaways from reading Part 1 of his book, Big Debt Crisis.
Ray Dalio is the founder of Bridgewater associates, which is the largest hedge fund in the world with over $140 billion in AUM. Ray’s personal net worth is around $20 billion according to Forbes, and because of his knowledge of cycles and investing, he was able to sidestep the great financial crises. While most investment managers were down big at that time, Dalio’s fund was up 8.7% after fees in 2008.
Ray Dalio put simply is an incredible thinker, and a very contrarian investor. He is extraordinarily good at putting his feelings and emotions aside and investing in a way that is deeply rational.
