Hi Guys!

Today I would like to talk about Ray Dalio and problems on the global economy.

(not sure if he needs the introduction)
Ray Dalio is the founder of Bridgewater. Bridgewater has raised over $ 58 billion for his clients.

Bloomberg managed to access the message to their clients. And as it is now accepted there were found very gloomy forecasts regarding the financial market and how it will behave in the next 10 years and it assumes as a "lost decade" for the stock market.
If you look at previous historical events, there were several cases when the financial market had negative returns for 10 years or more. That is, if you put your money in the stock market and waited 10 years or more, you would still be at a loss. For example, in the 2000s, right before the collapse of Dot-com, that is, if you invested and waited until 2012, you would still have a negative balance. But the best example that can be cited is in 1929 when if you were to invest then you would have to wait over 30 years before you could profit from your investment. And Dalio believes that we are in this kind of period.

I propose to figure out why Ray Dalio thinks so.

1. Bridgewater cited a drop in profits as the reason for the lost decade in the future, so it's a drop in what was once a profit. They noted “the margin that provided most of the excess stock returns over cash may face a shift beyond the current yield cyclical decline,” and one of the reasons they see the decline in earnings is due to declining globalization. they also said "Globalization, perhaps the biggest driver of profitability in developed countries over the past few decades, has already reached its peak. Now the conflict between the US and China and the global pandemic is further accelerating the efforts of multinationals to reorient and duplicate supply chains, with a focus on reliability rather than just cost optimization."

In 2019 and years earlier, there was a big direction towards globalization, which means that companies operate in different countries and buy things in others as it is much cheaper and profits are growing significantly. But analysts from Bridgewater see a decline in globalization after this crisis as countries begin to rely more on themselves and produce their local goods, but for a large number of companies this reduces profits because it is more expensive to produce goods themselves than to outsource them and this is one of the key reasons of a lost decade - "Decrease in globalization".

2. “Even if overall profitability recovers, some companies will die or their shares will devalue during this time. Left with lower yields and cash shortages, companies are likely to come out of the curve with more debts. ”
