Written by Ray Dalio
The big question is: When will the term structure of interest rates change? That's the question to be worried about.

Written by Ray Dalio

Written by Ray Dalio
Almost everything is like a machine.
Written by Ray Dalio
Nature is a machine. The family is a machine. The life cycle is like a machine.

Written by 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.
Written by Ray Dalio
An economy is not a complicated thing; it just has a lot of moving parts.
Written by Ray Dalio
Demand is best measured in terms of spending. You know, I think in traditional economics, it's a mistake to measure it in terms of the quantity of goods.

Treat your life like a game.
Written by Ray Dalio
I think that the first thing is you should have a strategic asset allocation mix that assumes that you don't know what the future is going to hold.
Written by Ray Dalio
There are two main drivers of asset class returns - inflation and growth.
Written by Ray Dalio
What I'm trying to say is that for the average investor, what I would encourage them to do is to understand that there's inflation and growth. It can go higher and lower and to have four different portfolios essentially that make up your entire portfolio that gets you balanced.
Written by Ray Dalio
When growth is slower-than-expected, stocks go down. When inflation is higher-than-expected, bonds go down. When inflation is lower-than-expected, bonds go up.
Written by Ray Dalio
I worry about another leg down in the economies causing social disruption because deleveragings can be very painful - it depends on how they're managed.
Written by Ray Dalio

Written by Ray Dalio
The main reason I write the daily observations is because I want to know where I'm wrong. So lots of times if somebody points something out it helps me, and I want to have a diversified bet of uncorrelated bets.
Written by Ray Dalio
Credit is a promise to deliver money. It will produce GDP but you'll create credit... So you reach a certain point that that you can't do that anymore... There are choices. And how do we best support, apportion the money? How much is going to be transferred?
Written by Ray Dalio
In return, society rewards those who give it what it wants. That is why how much money people have earned is a rough measure of how much they gave society what it wanted.
Written by Ray Dalio
Look at what caused people to make a lot of money and you will see that usually it is in proportion to their production of what the society wanted.
Written by Ray Dalio
Pull in your belt, spend less, and reduce debt.
Written by Ray Dalio
A beautiful deleveraging balances the three options. In other words, there is a certain amount of austerity, there is a certain amount of debt restructuring, and there is a certain amount of printing of money. When done in the right mix, it isn't dramatic.
