Ray Dalio: "The S&P Fell 28% Last Year." Wait, What?
He's measuring in gold, not dollars. And that's the point.
The dollar dropped 10% in 2025. So, yeah, your portfolio went up in dollars, but, Dalio says your real return isn’t so exciting.
And the decline is reportedly advancing as macro conditions don’t improve.
So, what investments offer protection against that currency risk?
Well.. billionaires have an answer. And now 70,819 everyday investors have joined in.
This unexpected asset class outpaced the S&P 500 overall with low correlation since 1995.*
Not real estate or PE. Post war and contemporary art. Seriously.
Plus– Art trades globally ;)
And now, you don’t need to be a billionaire–

A.I. & Robotics is Reshaping the Smart Home and Big Tech Wants In
Apple is rolling out Face-ID door locks and robotic smart displays. Elon Musk is quietly building the Tesla Smart Home. A.I. and robotics are driving the next wave of smart home innovation — and the window is open to invest in the companies that can define it.
One category is far bigger than most people realize: window shades. There are billions across homes, offices, and hotels — and almost all of them are still manual.
The last wave created major outcomes. Google bought Nest for $3.2 Billion. Amazon bought Ring for $1.2 Billion. Investors are now hunting for the next category leader — the one that can deliver real exit potential.
RYSE is leading this market with 10 patents, $15 million in revenue, and 200% annual growth. Their a prime acquisition target in a massive, untouched market. And RYSE is pre-IPO with a reserved Nasdaq ticker, giving investors exposure to multiple potential exit paths.
At $2.35 per share, this is your moment to get in before the next wave hits.
Invest today before the share price changes on Feb 28.
