Ray Dalio from Davos: "If you're holding cash, you're going to feel pretty stupid." (2018)

We are in this Goldilocks period right now where we have had this beautiful deleveraging.  Inflation isn't a problem.  Growth is good, everything is pretty good with a big jolt of stimulation coming from changes in tax laws.

[...]

There is a lot of cash on the sidelines...  We're going to be inundated with cash.  If you're holding cash, you're going to feel pretty stupid.

[...]

You can't have a significant rise in interest rates without knocking over the whole asset markets.  The Fed is going to determine what the level of real interest rates are.
