Ray Dalio: Cash on the sidelines will pour in to stem the bleeding in this market

Ray Dalio runs Bridgewater, the world’s biggest hedge fund, and he has a message for those freaking out about the recent selloff: Relax... for now.

“These big declines are just minor corrections in the scope of things,” he wrote in a LinkedIn post. “There is a lot of cash on the side to buy on the break.”

Well, this market could certainly use some buyers. At last check, the Dow Jones Industrial Average DJIA, -3.67% was down 700 points, marking its first 5% pullback from all-time highs in more than a year.

But here’s the perspective Dalio offered:

China announced they would slow down buying US treasuries. I see interest rates going up soon. This is going to slow down our economy and guess who will get the blame? Obama. Wait for it. Twitler will find a way to blame him and Hillary. Twitler has pissed off a lot of foreign countries. They are pulling away from us.
