Ray Dalio: The All-Weather Portfolio - Investing for Any Economy

Your 60/40 portfolio is a ticking time bomb.

It works beautifully in one economic environment—and gets destroyed in the other three.

2008: Down 25%. 1970s stagflation: Lost to inflation for a decade. 2022: Both stocks AND bonds fell together.

The problem? Your "balanced" portfolio isn't actually balanced. In risk terms, it's 90% stocks, 10% bonds. When stocks crash, your portfolio crashes. The 40% bond allocation isn't enough to save you.

Ray Dalio discovered this the hard way in 1982. After nearly going bankrupt from bad predictions, he became obsessed with building a portfolio that could survive ANY economic environment—not just the one he hoped would continue.

The result: The All-Weather Portfolio. It's designed to perform well whether the economy grows or contracts, whether inflation rises or falls. It doesn't require predicting the future. It requires understanding how the economic machine actually works.

In this comprehensive breakdown, discover:
✅ Why conventional portfolios fail (60/40 is 90% stocks in risk terms)
✅ The 4 economic environments that drive ALL asset returns
✅ How different assets perform in each environment
✅ Why you need only 30% stocks (and 40% bonds) for true balance
✅ The exact All-Weather allocation (30/40/15/7.5/7.5 breakdown)
✅ How to build your portfolio step-by-step
✅ Historical performance: 2008, 1970s, 2000, 2020
✅ Why this approach lost only 12% in 2008 (vs 37% for stocks)

This isn't about beating the market. It's about surviving ALL markets.

The question isn't IF economic storms will come. They will.
The question is: Will you be ready?
