Culture at Bridgewater as bad as "The Fund" portrays it? (curious to hear from ex-Bridgewater employees)
"The Fund" is a NYT bestseller that came out three weeks ago. With the level of popularity that the book has had I'm sure many here have read it. For those who haven't read it there are plenty of interviews online of the author where he provides a synopsis of the book; here's one that I quite...

Dalio's all weather Portfolio - Value Investing version
I recently thought about this idea after reading Dalio's new book. Many of you are informed with Dalio's All Weather portfolio. It has returned on average 9.6% over the past 30 years. For those who don't know its a mix of 40% long term bonds, 15% short term bonds, 30% equities, 7.5% gold, 7.5%...
What's the most important thing you've learned in the past year?
“The most valuable habit I’ve acquired is using pain to trigger quality reflections. If you can acquire this habit yourself, you will learn what causes your pain and what you can do about it, and it will have an enormous impact on your effectiveness.” ― Ray Dalio, Principles: Life and Work...
How Far Would You Go For a Promotion?
It looks like things are heating up once again at the world's largest hedge fund as allegations of a bit of sexual deviance come to light. Christopher Tarui, a 34-year old employee at Bridgewater, recently filed (and then withdrew) a complaint against Ray Dalio's behemoth of a fund, calling it a...
Ray Dalio Teaches Econ 101
This is really excellent. Imagine having Bridgewater 's Ray Dalio as your Econ 101 professor. Then imagine that the class was only 30 minutes long. I can't for the life of me understand why he made this (it seems to me that Bridgewater's clients should already know this stuff), but Ray Dalio lays...

Do you think Ray Dalio looks llike Kevin Spacey?
Was my first thought when I saw a picture of Ray (aside from the long hair). But others don't agree with me. Ray: http://static2.businessinsider.com/image/51bf687b… Kevin: http://cdn1.thr.com/sites/default/files/2013/08/k…
Tepper Tops Highest-Paid Hedgie List
Some of these numbers are just staggering. I remember when the whole world came unglued after Michael Milken paid himself $550 million in 1987 . That wouldn't even cover David Tepper's tax bill on his 2012 earnings. That's right, kids: hedge fund managers are now into the 10-figures for all-in comp....

Party at the End of the World: Dartmouth kid writes a book about the evils of campus recruiting and “Faceless Hedge Funds”
My post this week is a little different. It’s short, decidedly not sweet and written to start a dialogue amongst the monkeys on this site. Dealbreaker, ran a piece this morning about Andrew Lohse, a Dartmouth grad and frat boy. Click Here to See Article
Dissecting Ray Dalio
Call him what you will; weird, creepy, the Dark Lord Xenu , but Bridgewater Chief Ray Dalio knows what the f*ck he’s doing. His Daily Observations newsletter is read by practically everyone who is anyone on the Street (does anybody here get it by the way?) and as far as Bridgewater’s performance...
What is your state of Principles?
We all make countless decisions each day, from really easy ones to really tough ones. We might not think about why we decide to go one way or the other, but what really drives us are the underlining values that we have developed alone or adopted from others. Our principles guide our decision making...

Hedge Fund Kings
