Dalio denies Bridgewater is betting big that markets will fall

Billionaire investor takes to Twitter to dispute WSJ report of $1.5bn bet

“I want to make clear that we don’t have any such net bet that the stock market will fall.”

That is Ray Dalio, founder of the world’s largest hedge fund, Bridgewater Associates, disputing elements of a Wall Street Journal report on Friday that indicated his fund was putting on a $1.5bn bet that global stock markets would drop precipitously by March 2020.
