Article Synopsis
Ray Dalio, founder of Bridgewater Associates, urges investors to rethink the traditional 60/40 portfolio and instead allocate 15% to gold and crypto as a hedge against currency devaluation. While he prefers gold over Bitcoin, he emphasizes the importance of broad diversification.
Dalio also warns that popular AI-driven stocks are overvalued and that rising U.S. debt and interest payments pose serious risks to bonds and the broader economy. With both gold and Bitcoin up 25% in 2025, concerns over government debt management may drive further investor shifts.
