Go check it out: https://nicolelapin.com/money-school-book Financial headlines are always going to be scary, but there's money to be made in any economy. That's my biggest takeaway from sitting down with Ray Dalio. He started investing at twelve, built Bridgewater into one of the biggest hedge funds on the planet, and made more money for his clients than any hedge fund manager alive. I don't get starstruck often, but I couldn't play it cool with this one. Today I'm sharing the moments from our conversation that I'm still thinking about. I break down Ray's view of how money and debt really work, why he thinks the U.S. has a lot of "plaque" in its financial arteries, and what that means for the buying power in your bank account. Then I get into the investing strategy Ray is famous for, including the one asset he loves that another billionaire I had on the show said he has no opinion on. ----------------------- MORE FROM NICOLE LAPIN 🎥 Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/@MoneyRehabPodcast 📸 Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/moneyrehab/ 📽️ TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@nicolelapin 🌐 Nicole's website: https://nicolelapin.com OTHER THINGS WE DO 💳 SoFi: https://SoFi.com/MNN 💰 Private Wealth Collective: https://privatewealthcollective.com 🏦 The Money School: https://themoneyschool.com Learn more about your ad choices.

Go check it out: https://nicolelapin.com/money-school-book Bill Ackman called the 2008 financial crisis years before Wall Street did, and he built one of the most legendary trades in modern investing along the way. Today, Nicole breaks down the money lessons from her sit-down with Bill that she can't stop thinking about, and why they matter for your portfolio even if you don't run a hedge fund. She unpacks the "durable compounder" philosophy Bill uses to find unkillable businesses, and how Warren Buffett has influenced his strategy. Then things get cautionary: Bill's blunt warning about borrowing against your stocks, the margin call math that can crush you, and his take on the one-day options trend flooding retail trading apps.
