Quote: "The hedge fund manager (Ray Dalio) said on Jan. 23 in an interview with CNBC that investors will see "a market blowoff" rally fueled by a flood of cash. "If you're holding cash, you're going to feel pretty stupid," he said.
Dalio founded Bridgewater Associates in 1975. The hedge fund now manages about $160 billion, according to its website. Bridgewater also has the biggest cumulative net profit for a hedge fund firm ever, according to data from LCH Investments. From inception to 2017, Dalio's firm posted a nearly $50 billion gain for its investors, the data showed.

If ever BRIDGEWATER is wrong about this idea to short the DAX than Europes Bellwether will raise dramatically. BRIDGEWATER is not only shorting the DAX . BRIDGEWATER is shorting also Italien Banks by 3 Billion Euro. BRIDGEWATER is the largest hedgefonds in the world. "Bridgewater manages about $150 billion in global investments for approximately 350 of the largest and most sophisticated institutional clients." Source: bridgewater.com/
If BRIDGEWATER is shorting the DAX and same time "the largest and most sophisticated institutional clients" having long positions in the DAX there are just two options:
a): BRIDGEWATER is bedding against own clients b): Clients following Bridgewater and this could be close to manipulating the market.
Bridgewater Associates founder Ray Dalio says in a LinkedIn blog post that the Federal Reserve's response to better-than-expected economic data and more fiscal spending may lead to an economic slowdown. "What we do know is that we are in the part of the cycle in which the central banks' getting monetary policy right is difficult and that this time around the balancing act will be especially difficult," he writes. The firm manages about $160 billion, according to its website." cnbc.com/2018/02/12/ray-dalio-risks-of-a-recession-are-rising.html
1. Selling short positions: Aggressive by high numbers 2. Buying back: "silently, by lower numbers".
So what does this mean?
If you sell high numbers of stocks than you know that you move the markets. If you by small numbers of stocks you try to avoid to move the markets to the upside.
For sure you dont expect shortterm lower stockmarket prices - otherwise you don´t buy back.
The question is:
a) How fast the DAX and all shorted stocks might go up now? b) At waht point BRIDGEWATER might be forced to increase to buy back short positions? c) Will this effect the markets going up or to spike to the up side?
Remind: Bridgwater size of shortpositions in DAX heavy weights is still muliple full day turnover.
