Bridgewater Bets $1.5 billion on Upcoming Market Drop

Ya don't suppose the banks who are clamoring for more liquidity cash in the overnight repo market are buying stocks with it ? Hey: 1.64% cash...

 

I am very LONG and STRONG the S&P 500 index.

 

Baron,

Thanks for the information

What percent in market drop needs to occur for Ray Dalio's Bridgewater to win his bet?

 

Now why would they want that to be public knowledge?

 

They haven't made their strike prices known publicly AFAIK.

 

Thank you bone for the response.

All I simple person like me can do right now is keeping on buying the market. If the market falls, I worry about that when it falls.

 

Some folks inside the banks that executed the trade likely leaked this stuff out

 

And I think that your response is mature and sensible. You cannot worry about things that are out of your immediate control. If the market price action as you interpret it is bullish you buy. If the market price action as you interpret it is bearish you sell. If you're unsure of yourself - sit on your hands.

 

You’re so naive, it’s cringeworthy.

 

It’s not mature and sensible to drive a car without car insurance.

It’s not mature and sensible to buy public markets without a hedge against the collapse of the marketplace.

....the phenomena of domain dependence comes to mind.

One must deploy prudence in ones actions, for instance, we should be maximally unsure as to what the market can give us, if we know nothing, we then know something..... and with that knowledge you can save your ass. get it?
