The big question is: When will the term structure of interest rates change? That's the question to be worried about.
Ray Dalio
Image
I believe that the biggest problem that humanity faces is an ego sensitivity to finding out whether one is right or wrong and identifying what one's strengths and weaknesses are.
Ray Dalio
Image
I also believe that everyone needs to think independently and make their own decisions on what makes the most sense.

People with good work habits have to-do lists that are reasonably prioritized, and they make themselves do what needs to be done. By contrast, people with poor work habits almost randomly react to the stuff that comes at them, or they can't bring themselves to do the things they need to do but don't like to do (or are unable to do).

I do think people need to recognize that a lot of journalists want to write a story a certain way because the story will be better or the portrayal will be better, or at least recognize that whenever you're looking at something, you're seeing it through somebody's eyes who may actually not be the person who is the most insightful.

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.

We don't know what truth is anymore. You or other media people can say there's no problem, but you're losing your credibility. There's distortion, and it's hurting our society. And as a result of that, there will be forces that, one way or another, are going to naturally bring that into equilibrium.

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.

Over time, it also became important for me to share my management principles with the people I worked with because we had to agree on how we should be with each other - and that way is unique. Because the logic behind being radically honest and radically transparent with each other wasn't clear, it had to be spelled out in these principles.

I think the industry can probably self-correct without regulation, but I don't believe an individual outlet can regulate itself.
Ray Dalio
Image
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
Image
When people get at each other's throat, the rich and the poor and the Left and the Right and so on, and you have a basic breakdown, that becomes very threatening.
Ray Dalio

To make money in the markets, you have to think independently and be humble.

Everyone has to decide for themselves what works for them and their organization.

Image
Life is like a giant smorgasbord of more delicious alternatives than you can ever hope to taste. So you have to reject having some things you want in order to get other things you want more.
Ray Dalio
Image
The media has the power to create an entrenched perception of reality that's incorrect.

The world is still in deleveraging.

I'm just saying that if you understand how the economic machine works, it just works like a machine. There are cause-effect relationships.
