Bridgewater Associates bets over $1 billion on market drop: WSJ
(Reuters) - Bridgewater Associates LP, a hedge fund founded by billionaire Ray Dalio, has bet more than $1 billion that stock markets around the world will fall by March, the Wall Street Journal reported on Friday, citing people familiar with the matter.
The bet, assembled over a span of months and executed by a handful of Wall Street firms, including Goldman Sachs Group Inc (N:GS) and Morgan Stanley (N:MS), would pay off for the world's biggest hedge fund if either the S&P 500 (SPX) or the Euro Stoxx 50 (STOXX50E) — or both — declines, the report said.
The bet is made up of put options, contracts that give investors the right to sell stocks at a specific price by a certain date. The options expire in March and currently represent one of the largest bearish bets against the market, the report added.
Bridgewater Associates was not immediately available for comment.

Good trade actually. Downside is known and its only the option premuims. Upside is skewed high. They could very well have stops on those as well to limit loss more. Smarter trade than shorting

My bet is that we will get a big China deal and S&P will doubled by then.

Correct. Also the one who runs the largest of them all today. Live in the past or the present. Your call.

This is expected and i was waiting for it , i thought it will happened before the end of this year but i belive because of the ellection they try thoer best to hold things togather becaue the problem mot just falling the stock market only , the US dollar in my opinion will fall fown like we never wintness in the history. Ive been tell ppl around me about this for over a year and they think im dreaming .. its not just the stock market is over priced, real state is over priced , cridet debit over 1 trillion already , the 2-3 % grown its just stupid spending because we became stupid consumer that the big corporations turn us to another smart type of slavry. The deficit is over a trillion ... if i want to keep going i need probably days to talk about this the finanacail and moral crisis that we are in as humanity. So as denis said “ the clock is ticking “
