Dalio: “Stocks Only Look Strong in Dollar Terms.” Here’s a Globally Priced Alternative for Diversification.

Ray Dalio recently reported that much of the S&P 500’s 2025 gains came not from real growth, but from the dollar quietly losing value. Reportedly down 10% last year!

He’s not alone. Several BlackRock, Fidelity, and Bloomberg analysts say to expect further dollar decline in 2026.

So, even when your U.S. assets look “up,” your purchasing power may actually be down.

Which is why many investors are adding globally priced, scarce assets to their portfolios—like art.

Art is traded on a global stage, making it largely resistant to currency swings.

Now, Masterworks is opening access to invest in artworks featuring legends like Banksy, Basquiat, and Picasso as a low-correlation asset class with attractive appreciation historically (1995-2025).*

Masterworks’ 26 sales have yielded annualized net returns like 14.6%, 17.6%, and 17.8%.

YOUR DOSE OF CRYPTO WISDOM AND ENTERTAINMENT

Hey HODLFM fam,

Crypto took a hit last night. Bitcoin dropped to around $60,000, Ethereum dipped into the $1,700s, and the market bled hard. Today, prices are rebounding, showing the usual crypto resilience, a reminder that every dip is temporary, and every rally comes with its own drama.

If your portfolio felt the pain last night, don’t worry, crypto always finds a way to rebound. And if you’re broke after the dip… well, welcome to the club, you’re officially a crypto realist. 😉

Let’s check out the hot news of the week. And spoiler, you’re not alone — they’re buying the dip too.
