In this article, we will take a look at Billionaire Ray Dalio’s new stocks picks.
Ray Dalio devoted 2025 advised caution regarding the stock market, and he remains worried as the US economy moves forward in 2026. Last year, the founder of Bridgewater Associates warned of a looming global debt catastrophe and the declining value of the US dollar. Although a volatile combination of central bank buying, geopolitical concerns, and individual demand seemed to drive gold to new highs during the year, Dalio contends that the gold boom was mostly caused by fiat money losing actual value. In his opinion, that was the most relevant story in markets in 2025.
President Donald Trump has repeatedly highlighted the fiscal advantages of a weaker US dollar, aiming to position it as a plus to American exports. Dalio appears to share this viewpoint, stating that currency weakness serves to reduce the cost of a country’s exported commodities for overseas customers while raising the cost of imports.
At the same time, Wall Street’s main indexes saw double-digit growth through 2025, marking the third consecutive year of gains. The gains were driven by strong investor demand for AI-related firms, which pushed US equity indices to all-time highs.
Bridgewater Associates’ main macro funds achieved a record-breaking performance the same year, with its flagship Pure Alpha fund rising 33%. According to Reuters, the hedge fund, which is currently run by CEO Nir Bar Dea, reported the biggest profits in its 50-year existence.
