Ray Dalio, founder of Bridgewater Associates, has advised investors to avoid exiting AI-related positions despite growing concerns over overvaluation and a potential market bubble. In a recent conversation with CNBC, Dalio stressed that bubbles don’t burst simply because assets look expensive — they typically break when monetary policy tightens sharply.
“Don’t sell just because of the bubble. You have to seize the opportunity. What will pop the bubble? Usually, it’s tightening monetary policy, and we are not facing that situation right now.”
Dalio argues that investors often mistake rapid price appreciation for imminent danger. He sees AI as a structural, decade-long growth trend, not a short-lived mania.
AI valuations may look stretched, but Dalio says the key question is: Are central banks tightening liquidity?
His answer: Not yet. And without that pressure, the traditional bubble-burst trigger isn’t in place.
Dalio expects continued swings — but no immediate collapse. Investors should avoid emotional exits and focus on structural themes.
Dalio didn’t comment directly on digital assets, and crypto markets showed no significant movement after his interview. Still, broader investor sentiment around risk assets may shift.
Dalio urges investors to monitor:
His approach prioritizes macro signals over valuation panic.
Dalio highlights a recurring mistake among investors: confusing fast growth with imminent collapse.
AI valuations may be aggressive, but unless global liquidity tightens sharply, the sector’s long-term upside remains dominant.
This echoes Dalio’s broader investment philosophy: opportunities arise when others hesitate — as long as macro conditions stay favorable.
