Ray Dalio (@RayDalio) — Fri, 11 Sep 2026 14:00:03 GMT

This happens as long-term rates rise relative to short-term rates. Though they try to hold short rates down, long rates are climbing, a trend we are already seeing. We are also seeing a weakening dollar and movements in gold.

As rates rise, it starts to affect the stock market. With bonds dropping and stocks rising, the prospective returns of stocks are now low compared to bonds, translating into broader stock market pressure.

This classic dynamic creates a stagflationary environment that the Federal Reserve struggles to manage. With current stagflation, the Fed wrestles with whether to tighten or ease. In an economy with vast wealth disparity, the financial impact differs drastically depending on whether you own stocks, which carries huge political implications.

Ray Dalio (@RayDalio) — Fri, 11 Sep 2026 12:45:16 GMT

When there were just a few of us, we had meaningful relationships because we knew and liked each other. 

When we grew to between fifty and a hundred people, we had a community; when we grew beyond that, the sense of community began to slip because we didn't all know each other in the same way. 

That's when I realized that having groups (departments) of around a hundred (give or take about fifty) that are bound collectively by our common mission was the best way to scale the meaningful relationship. While bigger companies tend to be more impersonal, that is just another challenge that has to be figured out. #principleoftheday

Let’s pause and reflect on a critical key to success:

The people who think differently from you—and who you might ordinarily get annoyed with—are often the ones who complement your weaknesses. Finding people who balance your strengths and offer different perspectives is essential for building a successful partnership or team.

Ray Dalio (@RayDalio) — Wed, 09 Sep 2026 16:22:56 GMT

Almost every technology boom creates a bubble, then a bust, whether it’s railroads, the Industrial Revolution, or the late 1920s.

Think about the late '20s: electricity, refrigeration, telephones, radios, airplanes, and cars were all emerging at once. Naturally, people wanted to invest in these miracles.

The danger is that people fail to distinguish the miracle from the investment. A technology can be truly transformative, but if the stocks are priced too high or bought on debt, you get a crash. That is the mechanics behind how bubbles form and burst.

New technology will be great, there is no doubt about that, but we always have to ask: great for whom, does it pay, and are we paying too much for the miracle?

It was great discussing this and other topics with Masterclass CEO David Rogier and future members of the @MasterClass Executive program. You can learn more about the program here: mstr.cl/MasterClassExe…#Investing#Economy#EconomicCycles#Markets

You work your ass off to get a lot of money. But what is that money actually for?

Money has no intrinsic value—it only matters if you have a clear purpose behind it. Will it get you better friends, a better marriage, or a better relationship with your kids? You better answer that question first.

To me, real success isn’t about the money. Success is knowing your nature, finding the best path through that nature, and being able to look back and say, "That was the life I wanted to have."

When pain comes, it's easy to get hung up in it and skip reflection. Transcendental meditation has helped me make that transition since 1969.

TM is a very simple exercise: you sit calmly and repeat a mantra in your head until all other thoughts fade away. This brings you into your subconscious mind—the space below logical awareness where emotions sit, calms you down, and where true creativity comes from.

You can’t force great ideas to come through logic, but when you relax into that subconscious space, they flow naturally.

Early on, I had to confront some major weaknesses. I have a terrible rote memory—I can't remember anything that doesn't have a clear reason for being what it is. Because of that, I was a bad student and I hated school.

Details have always been a mess for me. To supplement my own shortcomings, I learned that I need to surround myself and work with people who are meticulous and detail-oriented.

Beyond that, my early audaciousness came with a lot of arrogance—until I got the shit kicked out of me enough times to learn fear.

But what I ultimately realized through that process is that your weaknesses don't really matter. What matters is recognizing them, finding the right people to compliment you, and learning from your mistakes.

Ray Dalio (@RayDalio) — Mon, 31 Aug 2026 21:33:48 GMT

Earth is just one of about 100 billion planets in our galaxy, which is just one of about two trillion galaxies in the universe. And our lifetimes are only about 1/3,000 of humanity's existence, which itself is only 1/20,000 of the Earth's existence. 

In other words, we are unbelievably tiny and short-lived and no matter what we accomplish, our impact will be insignificant. 

At the same time, we instinctually want to matter and to evolve, and we can matter a tiny bit--and it's all those tiny bits that add up to drive the evolution of the universe. #principleoftheday

Ray Dalio (@RayDalio) — Sat, 29 Aug 2026 16:00:00 GMT

Natural selection’s trial-and-error process allows improvement without anyone understanding or guiding it. The same can apply to how we learn.

There are at least three kinds of learning that foster evolution: memory-based learning (storing the information that comes in through one’s conscious mind so that we can recall it later); subconscious learning (the knowledge we take away from our experiences that never enters our conscious minds, though it affects our decision making); and “learning” that occurs without thinking at all, such as the changes in DNA that encode a species’ adaptations.

I used to think that memory-based, conscious learning was the most powerful, but I’ve since come to understand that it produces less rapid progress than experimentation and adaptation. #principleoftheday

To give you a quick example of nature creating incentives that lead to individuals pursuing their own interests that result in the advancement of the whole, look at sex and natural selection. 

Nature gave us one hell of an incentive to have sex in the form of the great pleasure it provides, even though the purpose of having sex is to contribute to the advancement of the DNA. That way, we individually get what we want while contributing to the evolution of the whole.

To collaborate successfully, you have to do three things:

First, put your honest thoughts on the table for everybody to look at. Everyone's thoughts are different, and you have to be willing to look at them openly.

Second, know the art of thoughtful disagreement. Ask yourself: how do you work through disagreements to get a better answer than you would have come up with individually?

Third, if the disagreements remain, you have to have protocols for getting past that. In our case, we have an "idea meritocracy" through believability-weighted decision-making.

When you have a system where the best ideas win out, the results are going to be so much better than if you just stuck with the ideas inside your own head.

It is instinctually that way, which is why most of us feel the pull of it-- in other words, we instinctively want to get better at things and have created and evolved technology to help us. History has shown that all species will either go extinct or evolve into other species, though with our limited time window that is hard for us to see. But we do know that what we call mankind was simply the result of DNA evolving into a new form about two hundred thousand years ago, and we know that mankind will certainly either go extinct or evolve into a higher state. I personally believe there is a good chance man will begin to evolve at an accelerating pace with the help of man-made technologies that can analyze vast amounts of data and "think" faster and better than we can. 

I wonder how many centuries it will take for us to evolve into a higher-level species that will be much closer to omniscience than we are now--if we don't destroy ourselves first. #principleoftheday

Integrity comes from the Latin word integritas, meaning "one" or "whole." People who are one way on the inside and another way on the outside--i.e., not "whole"--lack integrity; they have "duality" instead. While presenting your view as something other than it is can sometimes be easier in the moment (because you can avoid conflict, or embarrassment, or achieve some other short-term goal), the second and third-order effects of having integrity and avoiding duality are immense. 

People who are one way on the inside and another on the outside become conflicted and often lose touch with their own values. It's difficult for them to be happy and almost impossible for them to be their best. #principleoftheday

Ray Dalio (@RayDalio) — Thu, 20 Aug 2026 23:00:02 GMT

Radical transparency forces issues to the surface—most importantly (and most uncomfortably) the problems that people are dealing with and how they’re dealing with them—and it allows the organization to draw on the talents and insights of all its members to solve them. Eventually, for people who get used to it, living in a culture of radical transparency is more comfortable than living in the fog of not knowing what’s going on and not knowing what people really think. And it is incredibly effective. 

But, to be clear, like most great things it also has drawbacks. Its biggest drawback is that it is initially very difficult for most people to deal with uncomfortable realities. If unmanaged, it can lead to people getting involved with more things than they should, and can lead people who aren’t able to weigh all the information to draw the wrong conclusions. #principleoftheday

Ray Dalio (@RayDalio) — Wed, 19 Aug 2026 21:00:01 GMT

This evolutionary cycle is not just for people but for countries, companies, economies—for everything. And it is naturally self-correcting as a whole, though not necessarily for its parts. For example, if there is too much supply and waste in a market, prices will go down, companies will go out of business, and capacity will be reduced until the supply falls in line with the demand, at which time the cycle will start to move in the opposite direction. Similarly, if an economy turns bad enough, those responsible for running it will make the political and policy changes that are needed—or they will not survive, making room for their replacements to come along. These cycles are continuous and play out in logical ways—and they tend to be self-reinforcing. #principleoftheday

When I look back at my life, reflect, and think about what has been best for me, I realize that the money, the track record, and the work we did for clients were all great. But the best part has still been the relationships.

Those honest relationships are deeper and better because of tough love.

Tough love is the best love because it comes from a place of truly caring. When people know that it is caring, and you couple that care with the tough truths, you can go through it together. That is incredibly powerful.

In this video, you can see how meaningful these concepts are when put into practice.

So I'm passing it along here. You can check the video description for specific topics so you can jump straight to what interests you. youtube.com/watch?v=Bu0xND…

People cannot be given the privilege of receiving information and then use the information to harm the company, so rules and procedures must be in place to ensure that doesn't happen. Additionally, the rules for how issues are explored and decisions are made must be maintained, and because different people have different perspectives, it's important that the paths for resolving them are followed. For example, some people are going to make big deals out of little deals, come up with their own wrong theories, or have problems seeing how things are evolving. Remind them of the risks that the company takes to give them that transparency and their responsibilities to handle the information that they get responsibly. I have found that people appreciating this transparency and knowing that they will lose it if it is not handled well leads them to enforce good behavior with each other. #principleoftheday

Open-mindedness doesn't mean going along with what you don't believe in; it means considering the reasoning of others instead of stubbornly and illogically holding on to your own point of view. To be radically open-minded, you need to be so open to the possibility that you could be wrong that you encourage others to tell you so. #principleoftheday

Being radically truthful and transparent with your colleagues and expecting your colleagues to be the same with you ensures that important issues are apparent instead of hidden. It also enforces good behavior and good thinking, because when you have to explain yourself, everyone can openly assess the merits of your logic. If you are handling things well, radical transparency will make that clear, and if you are handling things badly, radical transparency will make that clear as well, so it helps to maintain high standards. #principleoftheday

The first stock I ever bought was the only company I’d heard of selling for under $5 a share. I stupidly believed that if I bought more shares, I’d make more money if it went up.

It was about to go bankrupt, but another company acquired it and it tripled in price. I thought, "I like this game—it must be easy." Look at the Wall Street Journal with thousands of stocks; surely I can just pick one or two that go up!

That's how I got started. It didn't take long to realize the game wasn't easy at all—but by then, I was completely hooked.

It’s important not to let our biases stand in the way of our objectivity. To get good results, we need to be analytical rather than emotional.

Whenever I observe something in nature that I (or mankind) think is wrong, I assume that I’m wrong and try to figure out why what nature is doing makes sense. That has taught me a lot. It has changed my thinking about 1) what’s good and what’s bad, 2) what my purpose in life is, and 3) what I should do when faced with my most important choices. #principleoftheday

Ray Dalio (@RayDalio) — Thu, 13 Aug 2026 03:32:22 GMT

In an idea meritocracy, openness is a responsibility; you not only have the privilege to speak up and "fight for right" but are obliged to do so. This extends especially to principles. Just like everything else, principles need to be questioned and debated. What you're not allowed to do is complain and criticize privately-- either to others or in your own head. If you can't fulfill this obligation, then you must go. #principleoftheday

Ray Dalio (@RayDalio) — Wed, 12 Aug 2026 20:14:39 GMT

My reaction from just watching the solar eclipse is that it was a spiritual moment because it brought people with all different backgrounds and values together with nature and each other in a shared valued moment. The World Cup was like this except it didn't have the nature part. I hope for more of these shared moments because spirituality, if understood and felt, would bring about the best path forward.

To me, the greatest battle is between spirituality--feeling a part of and taking care of the shared common good of all humanity and nature--and fighting for and inflicting harm for oneself and those on your side. More than anything, whether spirituality wins this battle over selfishness will determine the well-being and perhaps the sustainability of mankind.

My experience, based on watching thousands of people try this approach, is that with practice the vast majority find it so rewarding and pleasurable that they have a hard time operating any other way.

This takes practice and changing one's habits. I have found that it typically takes about eighteen months, which is how long it takes to change most habits. #principleoftheday
