Ray Dalio Warns: Once-in-a-Lifetime Crash — Would You Go All In?
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?

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.

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. 🌈🌈🌈💰💰💰

Technology will still do great in future, but will probably be looking at S.Korea and Japan markets for investment. USA will be reliant on them for trade and support for technology and defence in the Pacific theater.
如果真像2008年那样的市场崩溃再次上演，我不会全押，但我会坚定出手。那种级别的危机往往伴随被过度抛售的优质资产，只要你挑得准，能拿得住，回报是极高的。
关键不在于是不是全押，而在于你有没有准备好现金、标的、和心理素质。市场永远给机会，但不会通知你它的“底”。真正的机会，往往是让人恐惧到怀疑人生的时候。
So if you have that extra money to 'go all in' why not?
It is a matter of time that the markets will recover and eventually go up again...
With that said, realistically, risk is exactly what it is and we may risk not seeing the light at the end of the tunnel.
Of course, due diligence must be exercised before going 'all in'...
So yes I will go 'all in' with the cash that I can afford to risk, it is an opportunity to double or nothing 😉
