Bridgewater Associates LP has bet more than $1 billion that stock markets around the world will fall by March, said people familiar with the matter.
The wager, assembled over a span of months and executed by a handful of Wall Street firms, including Goldman Sachs Group Inc. and Morgan Stanley, would pay off for the world’s biggest hedge fund if either the S&P 500 or the Euro Stoxx 50—or both—declines, some of the people said.
Not a Trumper
It should be earlier than March!
Wow, I am starting to lose faith in journalism. First nytimes with fedex and now . Bridgewater is hedging 1% of their assets. To imply a “bet” is to imply a short bias of the US markets. Truly dissapointed in your “journalism”.
Wow Juliet Chung that's some quality reporting. Imagine believing that a shop as sophisticated as BW that go out of their way to educate their clients to be hyper diversified, sharing risk parity with the world but will buy $1.5B in put options that would expire worthless
Tanzeel_Akhtar 70% hedged
See clarification from RayDalio This headline is misleading.
Bridgewater manages over $150B in Assets. Placing a $1B “bet” is merely a hedge. Also, Dalio has been a bear for quite some time now, so this to me is no surprise.
This is how hedge funds & big investors often make $$. Public bets, others jump on et voila it happens. Not because of facts. Because lemmings. What do you think EddyElfenbein?

They're probably right, I've never seen so many companies pushing their own credit cards (i.e Target), it sounds like the great depression all over again. Everyone is buying everything on credit.
