Recently, U.S. stocks have seen sharp volatility, while U.S. Treasuries—traditionally seen as a safe haven—have instead faced rare sell-offs. On Wednesday, the 10-year Treasury yield briefly spiked to 4.51%.

Once-in-a-Lifetime Moment: It’s Bigger Than Tariffs.

Ray Dalio recently warned that people are largely overlooking deeper forces driving almost everything—including tariffs.

“The far bigger, far more important thing to keep in mind is that we are seeing a classic breakdown of the major monetary, political, and geopolitical orders.

This sort of breakdown occurs only about once in a lifetime, but it has happened many times in history under similar unsustainable conditions.”

Dalio highlights five major risks to watch:

Breakdown of the monetary/economic order

Breakdown of domestic political stability

Breakdown of international geopolitical order

Rising disruption from nature (e.g., droughts, floods, pandemics)

Transformational impact of tech advancements like AI

He urges investors to focus on the Overall Big Cycles, cautioning:

“Don’t let headline-grabbing events like tariffs distract you from these five major forces and their interconnections—they are the real drivers of long-term change.”

The Risk of Going All In is Massive — But Fortune Favors The Bold.

A WSB user posted: "I all-in'd and held $400K in UVIX for 6 months. I finally sold." This user believed that the U.S. national debt reaching a staggering $36 trillion, the AI bubble, and a deteriorating economic environment gave him 90% confidence that a market crash was imminent.

Amid the current extreme volatility, analysts are also forecasting further potential downside.

Is the market truly at a once-in-a-lifetime moment, as Ray Dalio suggests?

If market collapse just like 2008 occurs—would you go all in?

    Ray Dalio really hit the mark—what we’re seeing now isn’t just about tariffs or policy tweaks. When even U.S. Treasuries aren’t acting like a safe haven, you know we’re in uncharted territory. The breakdowns across monetary systems, politics, and geopolitics aren’t just noise—they’re structural shifts. Tariffs may grab headlines, but they’re just surface-level signals of something much bigger brewing underneath.

    Now, would I go all in during a crash like 2008? I’d definitely consider it—but cautiously. Panic moments can be once-in-a-lifetime chances, but they’re also when emotions run wild and timing gets tricky. I wouldn’t go “all in” blindly, but I would be ready with dry powder, watching for true capitulation, and scaling in strategically rather than taking a one-shot gamble.

    Staying diversified, tuned in, and not distracted by short-term noise is my game plan in this high-stakes environment.

    🌟🌟🌟The very idea of Going All In means putting all my money  into the market all at once!  Would I do that?  Going All In means I have no safety net if conditions worse.

    I believe a better way is a diversified approach which helps manage my risk by spreading my exposure across various assets.  This way, even if part of my portfolio suffers, other investments might hold steady or even appreciate.  This cushions the overall impact on my finances.

    Dollar cost averaging to me is a more prudent approach.  This time tested strategy allows me to invest steadily over time, reducing the risk associated with making a single massive bet at a very uncertain moment in time.

    Slow and Steady is my mantra rather than Going All In.  That is how I like to invest and achieve my  goal of FIRE - Financial Independence Retire Early. 🌈🌈🌈💰💰💰

    I agree that a new world order may unfold but it is too early to commit to what it really will be as it all depends on how the nations respond to the tariffs and what trump does in return. I believe trump is trying to create a new order in the interests of US but the other countries must collectively do what he wants which may not happen. If the market truly collapses, I will not go all in. It is too dangerous. One really never knows when it is truly the bottom and whether further pain lies ahead. I would prefer to enter in phases and would be considering taking profit very quickly on a portion to avoid being a crazy bag holder and also keep a portion as a longer term investment in case it really does not fall further and rally quickly. @Universe宇宙 @HelenJanet @DiAngel @Wayneqq @Kaixiang @Success88 @rL @Fenger1188 @SPOT_ON come join

    Not all in as too risky. Low might get lower. Nobody can predict the lowest. Hence only get into the market when you are comfortable with the price.

    It might be a once in a lifetime chance but I will use the Capital carefully. Won't all in. If All - In is gambling [Helpless] I am not a gambler [Chuckle], instead striving to increase our odds to try the markets with Both Risk & Opportunity together 🙏. Losing is part of the game 🎯 Cannot afford to LOSE All, then it's really End of the Game 🎯😭 @Jes86188 @新美股神 @Barcode @JC888
