While I have been explaining for some time my thinking about gold (I like it) and debt assets (I don’t like them) as storeholds of wealth in the context of how the world order is changing, now that gold is hotter than AI stocks (and the meme is now changing to recognize that it…

His X post saw over 200 replies within its first hour, with 476 responses at the time of writing. Meanwhile, his LinkedIn post had 87 comments as of press time.
In the X and LinkedIn comments, users asked Dalio a variety of questions about investing in the precious metal.
“What is the best form to invest in gold, and any recommended platforms?” one user asked on LinkedIn.
“How safe is it to buy a gold-backed ETF? Should I invest in physical gold instead?” another asked on X.
Dalio has not responded to any questions as of the time of writing, nor has he indicated how many questions he plans to address.
Dalio has long been in favor of gold as part of an investment portfolio. Earlier this month, at the Greenwich Economic Forum, he recommended allocating around 15% of a portfolio to gold, describing it as especially effective in turbulent economic times and periods of high inflation. Gold prices have reached record highs recently, reaching $4,226.20 per troy ounce on Wednesday.
“Gold is a very excellent diversifier in the portfolio,” Dalio said at the forum. “If you look at it just from a strategic asset allocation perspective, you would probably have something like 15% of your portfolio in gold… because it is one asset that does very well when the typical parts of the portfolio go down.”
Dalio is worth $19.2 billion, per the Bloomberg Billionaires Index. He made his fortune by founding Bridgewater Associates, a hedge fund with $92 billion in assets under management as of March.
