OT:
I've been reading about Ray Dalio of Bridgewater - very interesting guy and incredible long term record (over 30 years with 15% return and manages over 100 billion dollars). I thought the following article was very eye opening.

hedgefundletters.com

There's more info at his website and with a google search. If he is right, we are basically in a depression and I am wondering if just trying to buy cheap stocks is going to be enough. Specifically, I am interested in his concept of having uncorrelated return streams. As an individual investor I feel it's hard to find an investments that are uncorrelated with the stock market. Some uncorrelated ideas that I can come up with are:
Gold/precious metals
Commodities - I am not sure whats the best way to play this. Oil? Farming? Boswell is interesting but it's seems like a black box.
mortgage REIT - NLY, still correlated to debt market
Pharma - somewhat uncorrelated to general economy/stock market
I would be very interested in knowing what other people thought about this article and his investing approach.
