Gold Hits New All-Time Highs Around the Globe, Every Portfolio Should Have Gold

Gold received heavy attention today after Ray Dalio, founder and
co-chief investment of the world’s largest hedge fund, Bridgewater
Associates, expressed his views to CNBC on the global economy
and alternative currencies. On the current slowdown and deleveraging
process, he said, “I think there will be a combination of monetary
policy and printing a certain amount of money to relieve it. And at the
same time, there’ll be a deleveraging and restructuring of debt…I think
we’re going to see both because you have to lower the debt-to-income
ratio so you have a higher level of growth than you do of interestrates.

Dalio also said he thought Warren Buffett was “making a big mistake” by
publicly bashing gold. He explains, “We have a situation now where when
you have too much debt. Too much debt leads to printing of money to make it easier to service. So all of those things mean that some portion of an investment portfolio should be in gold.”
