More quotes by Ray Dalio
One of the greatest sources of problems in our society arises from people having loads of wrong theories in their heads - often theories that are critical of others - that they won't test by speaking to the relevant people about them. Instead, they talk behind people's backs, which leads to pervasive misinformation.
Ray Dalio
Since the only way you are going to find solutions to painful problems is by thinking deeply about them - i.e., reflecting - if you can develop a knee-jerk reaction to pain that is to reflect rather than to fight or flee, it will lead to your rapid learning/evolving.
Ray Dalio
I'm just saying that if you understand how the economic machine works, it just works like a machine. There are cause-effect relationships.
Ray Dalio
The pain of problems is a call to find solutions rather than a reason for unhappiness and inaction, so it's silly, pointless, and harmful to be upset at the problems and choices that come at you (though it’s understandable).
Ray Dalio
There is slow growth, but it is positive slow growth. At the same time, ratios of debt-to-incomes go down. That's a beautiful deleveraging.
Ray Dalio
Some people seek to understand, and some people seek to portray what they want to portray.
Ray Dalio
Almost everything is like a machine.
Ray Dalio
I think the greatest tragedy of mankind is that people have ideas and opinions in their heads but don't have a process for properly examining these ideas to find out what's true. That creates a world of distortions.
Ray Dalio
There are two main drivers of asset class returns - inflation and growth.
Ray Dalio
To make money in the markets, you have to think independently and be humble.
Ray Dalio
I notice a difference from the moment I meditate.
Ray Dalio
I think it is in the nature of individuals and individual entities not to self-correct.
Ray Dalio
Treat your life like a game.
Ray Dalio
I think the basic problem is that everybody thinks they know what the truth is, and sometimes they're even distorting the truth to make their arguments.
Ray Dalio
The most important thing you can have is a good strategic asset allocation mix. So, what the investor needs to do is have a balanced, structured portfolio – a portfolio that does well in different environments…. we don't know that we're going to win. We have to have diversified bets.
Ray Dalio
The big question is: When will the term structure of interest rates change? That's the question to be worried about.
Ray Dalio
The biggest mistake investors make is to believe that what happened in the recent past is likely to persist. They assume that something that was a good investment in the recent past is still a good investment. Typically, high past returns simply imply that an asset has become more expensive and is a poorer, not better, investment.
Ray Dalio
Constantly probe the people who report to you, and encourage them to probe you.
Ray Dalio
When growth is slower than expected, stocks go down. When inflation is higher than expected, bonds go down. When inflation's lower than expected, bonds go up.
Ray Dalio
Ask yourself whether you have earned the right to have an opinion. Opinions are easy to produce, so bad ones abound. Knowing that you don't know something is nearly as valuable as knowing it. The worst situation is thinking you know something when you don't.
